Morgantown rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Morgantown, a temporary permit allows on-street parking in a permit parking district for up to five consecutive days, at $5 per occurrence.
Morgantown's permit parking districts offer temporary permits good for up to five consecutive days at $5 each, alongside $20 resident and visitor permits. No motor vehicle may stay parked on a city street for more than 48 consecutive hours, freight may not be unloaded from the street where a connecting alley is practicable, and the City Manager issues $3-a-year loading zone permits for private vehicles while they load or unload. Obstructing a public right-of-way is prohibited unless the code authorizes it, and in snow the city treats and plows priority one streets before moving to secondary and tertiary streets.
