Parking Restrictions

Amendments to the Highway Traffic (General) Regulation give municipalities more flexibility to impose unsigned parking bans for snow removal. Until now, municipalities could make bylaws enabling unsigned parking bans from 11 p.m. until 6 a.m.

As of March 1, 2019, municipalities can impose unsigned parking bans, as long as:

• the parking restriction is temporary and declared by the traffic authority for the purpose of enabling snow clearing
• the public is notified a least 24 hours before the restriction comes into effect, by a media release and any additional requirements set out in a bylaw

This change allows municipalities to undertake efficient snow removal on residential streets, while providing citizens with ample notification of the parking ban.
