Parking Regulations

Regular Parking Regulations
  • Where there are no signs, you are allowed to park for 3 hours.
  • Do not park on the landscaped portion of the road allowance, and do not block or park closer than 1.5 meters of another driveway/ laneway.
  • Winter Parking Restrictions apply from November 1 to April 1 each year.
Winter Parking Restrictions

From November 1, to April 1, there will be no nightly on-street parking ban. Instead, street parking restrictions are alert-based throughout the winter. This means that residents can park on the street overnight unless a Winter Parking Ban Alert is issued.

An alert will be issued when 5cm or more of snow or freezing rain is in the forecast, and will be sent out by 2:00 p.m. restricting on-street parking from 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. These alerts are sent to our subscribers by email, posted on social media (Facebook, Instagram and X) and on our four LED Boards.

Important: To be notified, please register for parking ban alerts through the Township’s notification system:
