Peabody rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Peabody, a vehicle rated over 12,500 pounds gross vehicle weight, or a trailer longer than 12 feet, may not park on a public way for more than one hour without a permit from the Police Department Traffic Division.
Peabody's code requires a Police Department Traffic Division permit before a vehicle rated over 12,500 pounds gross vehicle weight, or a trailer longer than 12 feet, parks on a public way for more than an hour or while actively loading or unloading cargo. Non-motorized vehicles can't stay on a public way more than 24 hours in a row, and articles may sit in the street only as needed for quick loading and unloading. Snow parking bans start as soon as the city's blue lights come on, and designated municipal lots open to cars once a ban begins.
