Gastonia rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Gastonia, the city code bars parking any vehicle wider than seven feet on a street except while it is actively loading or unloading, so a moving truck should only sit at the curb during the load.
In Gastonia, a vehicle wider than seven feet may park on a street only while actively loading or unloading, and vehicles must park parallel to the edge of the roadway with wheels within 12 inches of the curb. Trucks may leave the signed truck routes when needed to reach a loading or unloading destination, and marked commercial loading zones allow only quick loading or delivery for up to 30 minutes. The code also bars parking on sidewalks, planting strips and in front of driveways, and lists loud or disturbing noise from loading and unloading a vehicle as a noise violation.
