Salt Lake City rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Salt Lake City, a moving container or dumpster on the street shoulder needs a city traffic control permit, and one in a metered, 2-hour or residential permit area also needs a parking permit.
In Salt Lake City, a dumpster or moving container in the public right-of-way may need a traffic control permit, a public way permit and a parking permit, and it must have four lighted Type 1 barricades, which the city does not provide. A vehicle, boat, trailer or motor home should not sit on a public street for more than 48 hours, and in winter the city asks drivers to stay off the street during and up to 36 hours after a storm, and its crews aim to clear snow and ice within 36 hours after a storm ends. Residential permit-parking areas offer visitor passes for contractors, and University of Utah fall move-in is set for August 17-20, 2027.
