As the weather gets colder, the city wants to remind Ottawa drivers that winter overnight parking regulations begin Nov. 15.
When Environment Canada forecasts a snowfall of seven centimetres or more, no parking is permitted on Ottawa streets between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m.
Vehicles parked on streets during the restricted period will be ticketed even when there is no snow. Drivers with municipal on-street parking permits are exempt from these restrictions.
Parking is also restricted where temporary “no parking” signs are placed for snow removal crews. Vehicles violating this restriction, including those with street parking permits, will be ticketed and towed.
Overnight parking regulations run from Nov. 15 to April 1.
