Hey all! I'm moving from SSF after a decade living here and I had some questions about parking a moving truck I wanted to run through here before having to call San Mateo County.

So I live in an apartment/duplex somewhat near Sign Hill. The street itself is fairly small, about one cul-de-sac with three or four lines of duplexes stretching out from it. It's enough for me to park my car but a moving truck gets tricky.

To move out, what we're doing is getting one of those pod-like services, but using a big moving truck trailer that parks here for 2-3 days. When I moved in, the movers just used the fire lane's curb, but I don't think I can or should try that with a trailer sitting there for a few days.

Next to my apartment is the road from which all the duplexes branch off so in theory I could have a truck parked there. But people tend to park there often and sometimes some work is being done that closes off people parking on the road.

So here's my question at long last: how do I do that? How do I block off that side of the road for parking to put a trailer truck for two to three days without the government getting mad at me and trying to tow it? I've gone through this every which way and there's simply no other place near my apartment to put this trailer without blocking myself and my neighbors into their garage for days. I know SF has street blocking but in my research I can't find if the same is true about San Mateo County.

Anyone been in this situation and have some ideas?
