Battle Creek rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Battle Creek, when the City Manager declares a snow emergency, no vehicle may be parked on any portion of a city street until the ban is lifted or the block is plowed curb to curb.
In Battle Creek, city code bars placing objects in the street without a permit, but it does not prohibit temporary obstructions incidental to quickly moving things to and from the adjoining property. Outside declared snow emergencies the city says it has no residential parking rules; during an emergency, parking is banned on all city streets until a block is plowed curb to curb or the ban ends. Trucks of four tons or more are restricted to posted truck routes, and a trailer may sit in a front yard for loading or unloading for up to 72 hours, four times a year.
