Fitchburg rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Fitchburg, trailers that can't move under their own power, including utility trailers, may not be parked on any roadway, except while they are actually being loaded or unloaded.
Fitchburg's city code bans parking unhitched trailers, such as utility, boat and camping trailers, on the roadway, though the rule does not apply during the actual loading or unloading. Parked vehicles must leave a clear lane at least 10 feet wide, and placing material or obstructions in a street requires a written license from the Commissioner of Public Works. During a declared snow emergency, which lasts 48 hours unless extended, parking on city streets is banned, with a $100 fine and towing for violators.
