Parking on Street During or Immediately Following a Snowfall
|
Road crews will:
- Salt primary roads as needed and plow them continuously until the pavement is bare
- Apply salt to residential streets. Remember, these streets are only plowed when a single storm results in 7.5 cm or more of snow
- Clear sidewalks on primary roads, in front of City properties along Brampton Transit routes
- Do their best to maintain municipal roads and sidewalks within 24 hours after the end of a snow fall, but it may take longer if weather conditions are severe

Parking on the street during winter weather (i.e. snow, ice, sleet) can block access for road maintenance crews, including snow plows and salters. This delays the service they provide to the public and can prevent streets from receiving their proper level of service (salt, sand, plow, snow removal).
Residents are required to immediately remove vehicles off the street during a snowfall to facilitate snow removal and/or winter maintenance activities. Once removed from the street, ensure the vehicle does not overhang the curb or block the sidewalk. Vehicles parked on the street or those that are overhanging the curb or blocking the sidewalk during winter related road maintenance or sidewalk snow and ice removal activities may be ticketed or ticketed and towed. Parking considerations are not valid during a snowfall.
Remember that:
- Parking on your street during winter weather can block access for road maintenance including snow plows and salters, and delay service.
- Vehicles parked on the street that interfere with snow clearing or sanding/salting may be ticketed or may be ticketed and towed.
- Do not park on the street until it has been plowed or sanded/salted.
- Vehicles that have received permission to park on the street must also be removed during winter weather.
- Your cooperation is appreciated by your neighbours and City road crews!
