Port Arthur rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Port Arthur, no truck, bus or other commercial vehicle may be parked on any street between 10:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Port Arthur's traffic code bars parking any truck, bus or other commercial vehicle on a street from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m., and it defines a commercial vehicle as one designed, maintained or used primarily to carry property.
