The California Film Commission guide says many jurisdictions require notification of affected residents or merchants and some require approvals from a percentage of neighbours within a radius set by local ordinance; it also gives a planning scale of 10 to 25 equipment trucks and 60-95 automobiles for an average feature, and describes reserving street parking with no-parking signs 48 hours ahead. ScreenSkills assigns the location manager to liaise with residents, hold resident meetings, confirm filming with the local authority and police, and obtain permission for parking suspensions or road closures. A trade article quotes a New York location manager on hiring parking assistants to hold parking 24 hours ahead. All figures are local and reported, not rules.

Curator qualifications: Verified both lead times. The 48-hour (CFC, California) vs 24-hour (Myers, practice) difference is correctly framed as place- and practice-dependent: check the local ordinance.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
