Winter Parking Ban
HRM's Winter Parking Ban, will be in effect as of December 14, 2009. The parking ban restricts on-street parking each night from 1:00 am to 7:00 am.
Reminder, a vehicle left parked overnight on December 13th will be in violation.
This means that within the service core (this includes Halifax, Timberlea, Bedford, Sackville, Fall River, Beaverbank, Dartmouth, Cole Harbor, Westphal, and Eastern Passage), no car can be parked on the street during these times. In addition, residents are reminded that Section 139 of the Motor Vehicle Act provides that parked vehicles obstructing snow removal or winter maintenance operations may be ticketed and removed at the owner's cost regardless of time or date (Section 139 of the MVA references "highways" - this term can be defined as "just about any facility on which the public can drive" and this includes residential streets)
