    Depends where you live. Check your local laws if you want to park at your house. Where I'm from you can have a peterbilt with a bulldozer on a lowboy parked in your yard with goats roaming around it and nobody can say jack about it, drive a few miles down the road and try it and you're getting a visit from smokey bear.

    Could be bylaw, municipal and county. Only reason why your allowed to go down a non truck route is if you have a delivery and no other way to get there. Like delivering to a construction site.

    Postscript

    Pointers for drivers/victims:

    1. Read the law under which the ticket was issued. The cops who issued the ticket may not have read the law or perhaps they do not expect you to read it. Municipal bylaws are often available for free online. Provincial Highway Traffic Acts are all available for free online.

    2. Not fighting an unlawful ticket just encourages municipalities to use truck drivers as a source of revenue. The low-wage anarchy and lawlessness in trucking is already bad enough without truck drivers being suckered into paying unlawful fines.

    At considerable cost to myself I went to court and fought the fine I was issued. I felt like I was representing all the beleaguered truck drivers who could not afford a day in court. If you are being issued unavoidable fines in the course of your employment I encourage you to spend the money and fight them in court. Win or lose you will discourage such sleazy forms of government revenue collection just by showing up in court.
