Pittsfield rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Pittsfield, placing materials or rubbish in a public street requires a written permit from the Commissioner of Public Services that states the space and time allowed.
Pittsfield's code requires a written permit from the Commissioner of Public Services, plus proof of $1,000,000 in liability insurance naming the city, before materials or rubbish are placed in a public street, and parking in front of a private driveway is never allowed. Snow emergencies start at 7 a.m. or 7 p.m. and last at least 48 hours, with parking banned on designated snow emergency routes and free parking at the McKay Street parking deck. The code's two snow-emergency sections differ on street parking: one calls for alternate-side parking, the other bans parking on all public ways subject to city snow removal.
