Lowell rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Lowell, commercial vehicles and trailers may not park on city streets between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., except while materials are actually being loaded or unloaded.
Lowell's code bars commercial vehicles and trailers from parking on city streets between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., except during actual loading or unloading, and anything placed in a street must be removed within five hours unless the Commissioner of Public Works has issued a permit. Many neighborhoods are resident-sticker-only zones, and the Parking Department sells a $6 Day Pass for a service vehicle at a resident's home. Once a snow emergency is declared, all vehicles must be off the street within six hours.
