Arrange a suitable stopping contingency with the carrier before the home enters San Diego streets. Overnight parking on a city street, alley or public property requires express permission indicated on the transportation permit. The city also specifies notifications and traffic precautions if an oversized load stalls in the street.
Overnight stop needs express permission
Street, alley or public-property overnight parking must be authorized on the transportation permit.
Breakdown triggers notifications
Notify Police, Fire-Rescue and the City Engineer, warn traffic and act to remove a stalled load.
City-maintained streets only
The San Diego permit does not carry permission for county, state or other-city segments.
A breakdown has its own response requirements
| Planning point | What the existing guidance says |
|---|---|
| Who to notify | Under the San Diego transportation permit conditions, a load forced to stop by an emergency or breakdown triggers notice to the Police Department, Fire-Rescue Department and City Engineer. |
| Immediate precautions | The permittee must also take precautions to warn other traffic and act to remove the load from the street. |
| Limit of the provision | That emergency provision is not advance authorization to stage a home there. |
Discuss the delivery window and stopping contingency
Tell the carrier about destination access limits that could delay arrival. Ask where the home can wait lawfully if the receiving site cannot accept it as planned.
The same conditions limit the city permit to streets maintained by San Diego. Identify any county, state or other city segments separately when planning the trip and its stopping options. Do not assume the San Diego permit carries those permissions with it.
