Salisbury rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Salisbury, the city code makes it unlawful to obstruct or block any street or sidewalk except under a permit issued by the city traffic engineer.
In Salisbury, blocking or obstructing a street or sidewalk needs a permit from the city traffic engineer, and downtown, parking spaces or sidewalk used for temporary dumpsters or construction vehicles need a right-of-way use permit of up to 14 days. Oversized commercial vehicles and trailers may park on city streets only while loading and unloading, and detached trailers may not be left on a street for storage once the towing unit is disconnected. Blocks designated residential parking only are signed to bar stopping, standing or parking without a special permit.
