Key rule: In Dayton, city code bars leaving a trailer parked on a residential-zone street except while it is continuously and actively being loaded or unloaded, and freight-carrying trucks may not stay parked on those streets between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
In Dayton, trailers, campers and similar equipment may stay on a residential-zone street only while they are continuously and actively being loaded or unloaded, and motor vehicles built and used to carry merchandise or freight may not remain parked on those streets between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Placing or storing personal property on a street, sidewalk or alley outside ordinary traffic needs a permit from the Director of Public Works, and the Division of Civil Engineering issues street privilege permits for special uses of the right-of-way. During a declared snow emergency no vehicle may be left standing where snow emergency signs are posted, and the noise code lists loud and excessive noise from loading or unloading a vehicle as an unnecessary noise.
