Winnipeg, MB – In response to recent accumulations of snow and to facilitate snow clearing, an Extended Winter Route Parking Ban will be in effect starting tonight at midnight until further notice.
The Extended Winter Route Parking Ban extends the Annual Winter Route Parking Ban by two hours, and prohibits parking on designated streets between midnight and 7 a.m. Residents are urged to check streets for both “Winter Route” or “Snow Route” signs before they park overnight.
If unsure whether the ban applies to a specific location, residents are urged to consult our online address lookup tool, use the Know Your Zone app, use our interactive winter route map, or contact 311.
Vehicles parked in violation of the Extended Winter Route Parking Ban may receive a $100 ticket ($75 if paid early), and may be towed to the towing company’s compound.
Winter routes are a top priority for snow clearing and ice control to ensure that emergency vehicles can navigate quickly and safely around the city. Motorists are reminded to drive to conditions and to use extreme caution when driving near heavy equipment.
The Extended Winter Route Parking Ban will be in place until snow clearing is completed, and residents will be notified when the ban is lifted. [At such time, the Annual Winter Route Parking Ban will continue to be in effect from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m.]
