Moving in Long Beach
A large city means several different kinds of moving day.
Downtown and waterfront buildings can add elevators, garages, loading docks and constrained curb space. Residential neighborhoods can shift the problem to alleys, driveways, street parking and the distance from the truck to the door.
Long Beach specifically tells residents not to use cones or trash cans to reserve on-street parking. If you need a temporary No Parking or No Stopping zone for a moving van, the City directs you to Street Maintenance.
Residential streets
Parking pressure, alleys and long carries can matter more than the distance between addresses.
Designated curb space
If the move depends on a reserved street area, contact Long Beach Street Operations before moving day.

Do not reserve the street with household objects.
Long Beach says not to use traffic cones, trash cans or similar objects to reserve on-street parking. If you need a temporary No Parking or No Stopping zone for a moving van, the City directs residents to Street Maintenance at (562) 570-2726.
The City's Temporary Oversized Vehicle Permit page repeats that a designated no-parking area for a moving van should be handled through Street Operations. Once the City confirms the loading location and timing, send us those details so we can plan staging and the carry.

Local planning
Long Beach rewards getting the loading point right.
A technically short move can still become a long carry if the truck cannot use the curb closest to the entrance. That is especially important around apartments, dense blocks, alleys and buildings with controlled loading access.
Tell us the loading entrance, elevator window, alley or driveway access and any curb arrangement you confirm. We use those details to plan the crew, staging and expected carry.
For hourly-rated moves, our standard rates & policies still apply. The useful part is making the estimate reflect the real access and scope before moving day.
