Missoula rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Missoula, the city code bars placing shipping or storage containers in the public right-of-way or a public easement for any period of time.
In Missoula, the city code bars shipping and storage containers from the public right-of-way for any length of time, and using a parking lane or parking spaces for four hours or more, or placing a dumpster in the street for four hours or more, requires a right-of-way occupancy permit from Public Works and Mobility. Trucks and trailers may park on residential streets only for expeditious loading or unloading, but that rule does not apply while they are moving household goods, and no vehicle may stay on a street or alley for more than 120 consecutive hours. Street-cleaning districts set odd/even-side parking during each district's designated period, and city crews begin plowing local streets once two inches of snow accumulate.
