Plan trailer parking before arrival
For residential neighborhoods, Friendswood's published traffic-control guidance limits trailer and semitrailer parking on public streets to two hours and says commercial vehicles cannot remain there overnight. Check the current rules with the city if your vehicle or loading plan is unusual. Arrange appropriate off-street waiting space before a multi-day move, keeping sidewalks, driveways and emergency access clear throughout unloading.

Know which road authority to contact
Friendswood identifies TxDOT as responsible for traffic lights and signs on FM 518, FM 528 and FM 2351, while the city handles its own listed facilities. If a damaged sign or signal affects the route you have planned, use the city's contact guide to reach the right agency. Confirm the property's actual entrance before directing a large vehicle off those roads.

Check rainfall around the creek crossings
Friendswood's flood-information page links to local gauges, including Clear Creek at FM 528 and FM 2351, and rainfall-monitoring resources. Review these when heavy rain threatens your move, alongside current road-closure information. Keep boxes staged inside until unloading is practical, and agree on a weather fallback with helpers. A gauge reading does not establish that a road is safe to cross.
