The City of Winnipeg's Annual Snow Route Parking Ban will take effect at 2 a.m. on Saturday, December 1, 2018. Vehicles may not park on streets designated as snow routes between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m.
The Annual Snow Route Parking Ban is in effect from December 1 to March 1.
Avoid a ticket and tow
Snow routes are clearly marked with signs like these:
Residents are encouraged to check their streets for snow route signs, or if unsure, to contact 311 or use the online address lookup tool.
Snow routes are a top priority for snow clearing to ensure that emergency vehicles can navigate quickly and safely around the city. It’s important that vehicles are not parked on snow routes overnight in order to enable rapid and efficient snow clearing of these critical routes.
Vehicles parked in violation of the Annual Snow Route Parking Ban can receive a $100 ticket ($75 if paid early), and may be towed to the towing company’s compound.
