Key rule: In Jackson, a truck larger than a panel truck may stand on a street only for the time needed to load or unload, and a trailer may not be left on a street unless it is hitched to a vehicle that can haul it away.

Anyone unloading a truck or van may briefly obstruct a sidewalk or street, but everything must be cleared right away, and a parked vehicle must leave at least 10 feet of roadway open and stay at least 8 feet from a mailbox during weekday and Saturday daytime hours.
