Fishers limits large vehicles mainly through § 72.34, which bars commercial vehicles, trucks, trailers, and semitrailers of 10,000 pounds or more from residential districts (except loading/unloading or designated zones), and through the Chapter 72 rule capping recreational vehicles and trailers at 72 continuous hours on the right-of-way.
The City of Fishers manages oversized and heavy vehicles through several provisions in its Code of Ordinances rather than a single dimensional limit. The principal rule for large trucks is § 72.34 (Truck Parking Restrictions), which makes it unlawful to park or leave standing any commercial vehicle, truck, trailer, or semitrailer weighing 10,000 pounds or more on any highway, street, road, alley, or private property within a residential district, except for loading or unloading or within a designated industrial or loading area. For large recreational equipment, Chapter 72 provides that recreational vehicles and trailers, including those towing boats and other vehicles, may not remain on a public right-of-way continuously for 72 hours or longer, and may not return for at least 30 days after being relocated. Together, these provisions keep tractor-trailers, semitrailers, and long-term RV or boat-trailer storage off residential streets. General clearance rules in § 72.13 (such as the prohibition on blocking driveways, sidewalks, intersections, and hydrant zones) also limit where any large vehicle can legally sit. Storage of oversized vehicles on private residential lots is additionally governed by the city's Unified Development Ordinance. Because no blanket dimensional cap is published in the parking chapter, the weight-based truck rule and the RV time limit are the key enforcement tools.
Storing a 10,000-pound-or-heavier commercial vehicle in a residential district, leaving an RV or large trailer on the right-of-way beyond 72 hours, or blocking required clearances with an oversized vehicle can each result in a citation and towing.
