-- Other Considerations. In addition to the above, cities may also regulate the time, <br /> place and manner of peddling, soliciting, and other transient selling. For example, a <br /> city can require that all peddlers, solicitors, and transient merchants conduct their <br /> business only between the hours of 8:00 a.m 9:00 p.m.. A city, however, must be <br /> careful not to be so restrictive with hours that the average working person would not <br /> be home when called upon by a solicitor or peddler. In addition, a city can prohibit <br /> peddlers, solicitors, and transient merchants from calling attention to themselves by <br /> the use of whistles, horns, loud noise devices,amplifiers, and flashing lights. A city <br /> can also prohibit peddlers, solicitors, and transient merchants from conducting <br /> business in such a manner or in such a place as to create traffic hazards or as to <br /> interfere with the free flow of others on streets or sidewalks. <br /> Please contact the League's Information and Research Services department, or the League's <br /> Codification Attorney, if you have any questions about this topic or would like a list of case <br /> citations and other more detailed information. <br />
