In Boston and some surrounding towns the city government allows for moving van permits. These are signs that are put up in front of the requested address on the designated day so that there's room for a moving truck to park and load or unload goods. Boston, Cambridge, Brookline and Somerville offer these moving van permits. Allston, Brighton, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, Hyde Park and other neighborhoods associated with Boston fall under the City of Boston's jurisdiction for moving van permits.
Many other cities don't offer this. Most of the time it is because its generally not a necessity due to either abundant street parking or a high number of driveways. The more suburban you get the more likely you are to find a lack of moving van permits.
For instance, Arlington, Lexington, Malden, Medford, and Newton do not offer moving van permits. Generally we don't find not having a moving van permit in these or similar towns to be a problem. However, if you know that the address you are moving into or out of has particularly difficult street parking you can either park your own car in a spot and move it when we arrive or kindly ask your neighbors to find other spots for a few hours while we move you.
Police details are available in special circumstances in all towns, but that's a topic for another post!
