Herndon rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Herndon, a rental trailer may be parked on a residential street only to load or unload, and never for more than 72 hours.
In Herndon, the town code keeps trailers off residential streets except for loading or unloading, capped at 72 hours, and limits commercial vehicles on residential streets to two hours at a time unless they are parked to perform work or service. The town's commercial-vehicle definition lists box-type trucks and covers vehicles over 21 feet long or 8 feet tall, but its size-based category excludes moving vehicles within 48 hours of signing the lease. When snow is forecast, the town asks drivers to keep off side streets and cul-de-sacs, and cars on snow emergency routes may be towed.
