Macomb County has no countywide oversized-vehicle ordinance for residential streets; size limits come from each city and township plus the Vehicle Code. The county's direct authority is its own roads and grounds: the Department of Roads permits oversize loads in the right-of-way, and Metroparks keep vehicles in designated spaces.
Oversized-vehicle parking on residential streets in Macomb County is regulated by each municipality, not a countywide ordinance; local codes commonly bar semis, large trailers, and buses from residential curbs outside industrial zones. On county roads, the Macomb County Department of Roads Permits Department (586-463-8671) issues permits for trucking and oversize construction staging within the right-of-way. Statewide, MCL 257.674 still bars any vehicle from blocking a driveway, hydrant, crosswalk, or sidewalk, or parking where a sign prohibits it. On park grounds, Metroparks Rule 9 keeps vehicles in designated spaces. An oversized vehicle left over 48 hours on a public street is processed under MCL 257.252a.
Oversized-vehicle street violations are municipal civil infractions set by each city or township, commonly $100-$300 first offense plus tow. Staging oversize equipment in the county right-of-way without a Department of Roads permit is a separate violation.
