Parking and permits

Malden rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.

Key rule: In Malden, vehicles with non-passenger (commercial) plates may not park on a public way between 9 p.m. and 7 a.m. without a Non-Passenger Vehicle Parking Permit, and box trucks are excluded from that permit.

In Malden, temporary no-parking restrictions are requested from the Traffic Commission or Director of Parking at least 24 hours ahead, and the signs only take effect after they have been posted for 24 hours; you may not put up your own signs to reserve space. Vehicles with non-passenger plates cannot park on a public way from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. without a permit, which box trucks cannot get, and unattached trailers may not be parked on any street. In winter, parking is limited to one side of the street until April 1, and cars on main arteries are towed during a declared snow emergency.
