Newark rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Newark, trailers and vehicles over four tons gross weight can't be parked on a public street except for the time needed to load or unload, and never for more than two hours.
Newark's traffic code bars trailers and any vehicle over four tons gross weight from parking on public streets, except for the time needed to load or unload, up to two hours, and no commercial vehicle (a term that expressly includes hitchable trailers) may park on a city street from 11:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. Placing equipment or any other article in a street or public place needs written permission first, and the Director of Engineering grants these permits for the time and space he or she determines. When snow covers the street, parking is banned on the city's listed main roadways, and the noise code bars noisy loading and unloading of boxes and containers between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
