Key rule: In Lubbock, a truck or trailer with more than 1.5 tons of capacity, or longer than 18 feet, may not park on any street within 250 feet of a single-family home except while it is actually being loaded or unloaded with a driver present.
Lubbock city code bars parking a truck, trailer or recreational vehicle with more than 1.5 tons of capacity, or more than 18 feet long, 7 feet wide or 7 feet tall, on collector streets or within 250 feet of a single-family residence, except for actual loading and unloading with a driver present, and loading time is limited to the time the work actually takes. Boxes and crates may sit on a sidewalk or parkway only while they are being loaded or unloaded, and resident-parking-only zones are signed with tow warnings. City snow plowing typically starts at about 4 inches of accumulation.
