Current parking bans status: No parking bans in effect
When declared, parking bans restricts parking on Priority 1 and Priority 2 roads from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Monday to Friday, until the ban is lifted. These restrictions help ensure safe, timely and efficient access to roadways for snow removal crews, emergency services and transit operations.
Declaring and lifting parking bans
Parking bans are declared when snow and ice accumulations become significant. During a parking ban, residents are not permitted to park on identified roads (typically priority 1 and 2 roads) on Monday-Friday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. This is to provide crews with adequate space to operate equipment and clear the road safely. Once conditions improve and priority roads are cleared, parking bans will be lifted.
Residents and visitors are responsible for knowing if parking bans have been declared. Notifications on parking bans can be found:
- In the daily snow clearing service updates
- On our official Facebook or Twitter channels
- On local media channels
- By calling AccessGP at 311
Parking on priority roads
If a resident lives on a priority snow route, the resident may not park on the street in two scenarios:
- There is a windrow down the center (no parking until windrow has been removed).
- A parking ban has been declared (no parking from 7:00am to 9:00pm, weekdays).
Priority 1 and 2 roads are main roads and collector roads, priority 2 routes are identified by on-street signage. All priority roads may be viewed on the Residential Snow Clearing Map.
