Winter Parking Information – November 1 to April 1

December, January and February

An on-street parking ban is in effect each night from 1:00a.m. to 7:00a.m. from December 1, 2023, to February 28, 2024, inclusively, 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.

November and March

A pilot project continues for the 2023-2024 winter season.

In November and March, the on-street parking ban is reduced to alert-based only (since there is historically less snow during these months). Register for our parking ban notices.
