Southfield rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Southfield, no vehicle may be parked on any public street between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m., so an overnight moving truck needs police permission, which a household can get no more than twice a year.
Southfield bans parking on every public street from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m.; the police chief can grant up to seven days of permission, limited to two grants a year per household, and the city says violations bring an $80 ticket. The street code lets temporary obstructions incidental to moving things to and from a home stand, but occupying a street for any other purpose needs a permit from the director. In winter, a parking ban takes effect automatically on any street with four inches or more of snow, and residents are asked to get every vehicle off the street during a declared snow emergency.
