Winnipeg will begin its annual parking ban for all snow routes throughout the city beginning Dec. 1.

This means vehicles will not be allowed to park on streets designated as ‘snow routes’ between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. until March 1.

The City of Winnipeg said the snow routes are a top priority for snow clearing to ensure that emergency vehicles can navigate quickly and safely around the city.

Vehicles parked in violation of the ban will receive a $100 ticket, $50 if paid early, and may be towed to the towing company’s compound.

Residents are encouraged to check their streets for snow route signs, or they can call 311, and or, use the online Address Lookup Tool.
