Mercer Island rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Mercer Island, it is unlawful to park or store an oversized vehicle, meaning one over 22 feet long or over nine feet high with an attached trailer counted as part of the vehicle, on a city street or its right-of-way.
Mercer Island bans parking or storing vehicles over 22 feet long or nine feet high on city streets, counting a trailer hitched to a vehicle as one vehicle, though temporary parking for deliveries or pick-ups of up to three hours is allowed. Obstructing or placing a structure on the public right-of-way requires a city right-of-way permit, and no vehicle may stay on a street for more than 72 hours. Some streets require a city parking permit, and residential streets are plowed after the arterials.
