Albuquerque rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Albuquerque, a vehicle 90 inches or more wide may park on a street only while it is being loaded or unloaded and must not be left unattended during that time, and a dumpster or storage pod in the street needs a city permit applied for at least 5 business days ahead.
In Albuquerque, city code bars parking a vehicle 90 inches or more wide on any street except to load or unload, and the vehicle may not be left unattended while that happens. Trailers may never be left unhitched on a public way, and a hitched trailer may not stay there longer than 24 hours. A dumpster or storage pod placed in the street goes through the Department of Municipal Development's permit application, which should be submitted at least 5 business days ahead and requires lighted barricades at the front and rear of the unit.
