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.
**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.**
