Johnston rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Johnston, no unattended motor vehicle, including a truck, may be left on any town street during a snowstorm once snow on the street is more than two inches deep.
Johnston's town code bars leaving any unattended motor vehicle, including a truck, on a town street during a snowstorm once snow on the street passes two inches, and the owner pays for removal and storage if the town tows it. Any vehicle parked on a street must leave at least 10 feet of the roadway open for traffic, police may tow vehicles that obstruct traffic, and marked freight curb loading zones allow stops of no more than 30 minutes for loading and unloading materials. Some streets bar nonresident parking at listed times, and heavier trucks are excluded from parking on listed streets.
