Burien rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Burien, a truck or van wider than 90 inches may not be parked on a street or alley, but one that is actively loading or unloading does not count as parked.
In Burien, trucks, vans and other vehicles wider than 90 inches may not be left parked on a street right-of-way or alley, though a vehicle actively loading or unloading is not considered parked; violations carry a $200 penalty. No vehicle may stay on a street for more than 24 hours, reserving street space to the exclusion of others is unlawful, and private use of the right-of-way needs a city right-of-way use permit. In alleys, at least eight feet must stay clear for traffic.
