Rules for parking trucks in built-up areas

NSW Road Rules state that a vehicle with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) greater than 4.5 tonnes or a vehicle, that together with any load or projection is 7.5 metres long or longer cannot be parked in a built-up area for longer than one (1) hour unless the vehicles are engaged in loading or unloading activity or some other lawful activity.

Council officers respond to complaints regarding heavy and long vehicles parking in a built-up area. Infringement notices would be issued to drivers who do not comply with the road rules.
