Truck
Parking – Maryland
Truck Parking is available at various
locations across Maryland. By far the largest segment of parking is at
private truck stops. Parking is allowed – but on a limited basis
at Maryland Welcome Centers. Drivers may also park at Maryland Truck
Weigh and Inspection Stations (TWIS), but only when they are closed.
Drivers should plan their trip prior to leaving to deliver or pickup
cargo and likewise plan/schedule stops to rest well ahead of time and
not wait until they are tired to try and locate a place to park. For
more information on locations of public and private parking availability
click here ( BM to Private Truck stops- under Truck weigh and Inspection
page)
**Truck parking is unsafe
and illegal on the shoulders of highways and entrance ramps of interstate
/US or State highways. Traffic tickets are being issued to violators.** |
