Overnight Winter Parking Ban
DECEMBER 1ST - APRIL 15TH
- Park on the EVEN numbered side of the street on even numbered months from 1AM - 6AM (December, February, April)
- Park on the ODD numbered side of the street on odd numbered months from 1AM - 6AM (January, March)
- If parking is presently allowed on only one side of the street during the day, then parking will be permitted on that side of the street every night.
- No overnight parking is permitted on the circular portion of dead-end cul-de-sacs.
- During a Snow Emergency (see below) all vehicles must be removed from both sides of the street.
To facilitate snow removal and emergency vehicle access, the City of Manchester’s Overnight Winter Parking Ban goes into effect on the morning of December 1st at 1:00 AM, and will run through April 15th. Where parking is normally allowed on a street, the Overnight Winter Parking Ban permits vehicles to be parked only on the odd numbered side of a street on odd numbered calendar months, and only on the even numbered side of a street on even numbered calendar months beginning after 1:00 AM and until 6:00 AM. This means you should park on the even side of the street during December, and park on the odd side of the street in January, etc. Fines for Overnight Winter Parking Violations range from $50 to $85.
