Rome rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Rome, vehicles, trailers and recreational vehicles over 20 feet long may be parked on a City street only while loading or unloading personal property, freight or merchandise.
These rules come from the City of Rome's Code of Ordinances. Vehicles, trailers and RVs over 20 feet long can park on City streets only to load or unload, goods packed on the sidewalk must be moved the same day with four feet left open for pedestrians, and placing an object in the City right-of-way (the shoulder or curb strip, not the travel lanes) needs a $100 permit applied for five business days ahead. From November 1 through March 31, overnight street parking is banned from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m.
