With snow in the forecast, the overnight winter parking ban will be enforced tonight in Halifax. 

According to the municipality, that means no on-street parking between 1 a.m. and 6 a.m. on Friday, Mar. 3, to allow crews to clean up from the snowstorm.

It will be in effect in both zones (Zone 1 – Central and Zone 2 – Non-Central).

Any vehicles left parked on city streets risk being ticketed.

In addition, vehicles can be towed day or night, at any time of year, if they interfere with snow-clearing operations under the province’s Motor Vehicle Act.

Residents are asked to make sure vehicles aren’t blocking sidewalks or hanging out of driveways as they risk being damaged by snow removal equipment.
