Parking ban zones
The municipality has two zones for the overnight parking ban: Zone 1 – Central and Zone 2 – Non-Central.
Zone 1 – Central is to the Halifax Peninsula and downtown Dartmouth within Highway 111 (the Circumferential Highway) and some surrounding areas.
Zone 2 – Non-Central is a designated area outside of Zone 1 – Central.
You can find your zone by searching your address using our interactive map here .
Who do I contact about snow clearing?
If your street is cleared by the municipality, you can email us or call 311.
If your street is cleared by the province, you can contact Nova Scotia Public Works (NSPW) or call 511.
Not sure if your street is cleared by the municipality or province? Search your address on our interactive map.
Before contacting us about snow clearing, please ensure the service timelines for your area have expired. You can find detailed information about snow clearing service timelines on the interactive map above or in the "when should clearing be complete?" section above.
If you see a vehicle impacting snow clearing during regular business hours, please call 311. If you see a vehicle ignoring the overnight winter parking ban, please only call the after-hours line if it is an emergency (example: a vehicle is blocking a driveway or sidewalk).
Please note: In snowfalls greater than 30 centimeters or in blizzard conditions, more time may be needed to complete clearing. The same exception may apply when there are rapidly changing weather conditions. Crews will continue working until all streets and sidewalks are clear and safe.
