Royal Oak rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Royal Oak, the city code lists portable storage containers and roll-off trash containers among the things that can't be placed in a street, alley or sidewalk unless the city approves, licenses or permits it in writing.
Royal Oak's right-of-way code bars portable storage containers and roll-off trash containers from public streets and sidewalks unless the city approves, licenses or permits them. Trailer coaches (RVs and travel trailers) can't be parked overnight on any street, and in residential districts they can sit in the front driveway for loading or unloading only for up to 24 hours with Building Inspection Division permission. When a snow emergency is declared, generally for four inches of snow or more, parking on city streets is banned until a street has been cleared.
