Poughkeepsie rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Poughkeepsie, a nonpassenger vehicle, box or trailer over 18 feet long may be parked on a residential lawn or driveway in front of the home only from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. while it is engaged in moving, lawn maintenance or delivery.
These rules come from the City of Poughkeepsie's Code of Ordinances (the City, not the separate Town of Poughkeepsie). In residential zones, a nonpassenger vehicle, box or trailer over 18 feet long can sit on the lawn or driveway in front of the home only from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. while engaged in moving, lawn maintenance or delivery, and street parking is limited to 48 hours unless signs say otherwise. During a Mayor-declared snow emergency, vehicles may be ordered off the streets, with a $100 fine plus removal and storage charges.
