Buffalo rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Buffalo, curb space can be reserved with temporary No Standing signs, but for work that needs the curb you request the signs through a Department of Public Works work permit rather than from Parking Enforcement.
In Buffalo, the city issues temporary No Standing signs for short-term curb reservations, and anyone doing work that needs curb space requests them through a Department of Public Works permit. The city code bars leaving obstructions to the public's free use of a street, and bans parking on unpaved parts of a lot's front or side yard. In winter, the parking FAQ says bus routes are off-limits from 1:30 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., and parking rules apply every day with no holiday exceptions.
