It's transported on trucks that resemble a "bundle of pipes". I always
assumed because of extreme high-pressure/extreme low-temperatures (in the
case of liquified gas). A single pressure-vessel storing it would have to
be so prohibitively thick-walled, that the GVWR would be above the max-
allowed on US highways (80,000lb for 18-wheeled tractor-trailers, I
*think* it's 65,000 for 3 or 4-axle trucks). Several small-diameter
vessels can have proportionally-thinner walls (but very thick,
nonetheless).
I have no knowledge of any laws prohibiting parking in enclosed areas.
Not to say they're not in place, I just don't know anything about them.
