Franklin rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Franklin, no commercial vehicle or trailer may stand in one spot on a town street for more than 20 minutes unless the operator is actively loading or unloading or working on the abutting property.
Franklin's by-laws limit commercial vehicles and trailers to 20 minutes in one spot on a town street unless they are actively loading or unloading, and bar objects that obstruct a street or sidewalk. From October 15 to April 15, a winter storm overnight parking ban takes effect automatically when snow, sleet or freezing rain falls or is forecast, banning street parking from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m. Larger commercial vehicles over 15,000 pounds face a one-hour limit in residential districts, except for loading or unloading.
