Winter Parking Restrictions
  • From December 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024 inclusively, a regular winter parking ban will be in effect each night from 1:00a.m. to 7:00a.m., regardless of weather conditions.

During this period, no person shall park a vehicle or permit a vehicle to remain on a street between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m., regardless of the weather conditions. Any person who does so is liable to a fine and/or will have their vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.

During a winter parking ban, please park in your driveway or use one of our designated overnight parking areas. Learn more about Parking regulations in the Township of Russell.

 

Pilot Project Continues for Winter Parking Restriction (2023-2024)

  • In November and in March, the on-street parking ban will be reduced to alert-based only (since there is historically less snowfall during these months).

Register for our parking ban alerts. You will receive an email notice before 2:00p.m. if an on-street parking ban is in effect.
