Parking during winter months

Parking during winter months

To allow for snow removal during winter months, the Town of Shelburne has winter parking regulations.

Starting every November 15 at midnight vehicles are not allowed to be parked on any roadway between midnight and 8:00 a.m. every day.  These restrictions are in place until midnight on April 15, 2025.

By-law 8-1983 is not dependent on snowfall or any other weather conditions. Regardless of weather conditions parking on all roadways is prohibited during these hours.

Vehicles parked on the road during winter operations,​ overhanging the curb or blocking the sidewalk will be ticketed $40.00.

Why is street parking prohibited in the winter?

Parking on the roadblocks access for snow clearing crews and delays service. It can also prevent roads from receiving their proper level of service. Often, plowing occurs overnight to prepare for the next day, and parked cars means roads cannot be completed. Snow-clearing operations includes plowing, salting, sanding and removal.

What are the parking restrictions?

Overnight parking – 12:00 AM (midnight) and 8:00 AM

This applies to all roads in Shelburne, not just residential streets. Vehicles parked on any road in Shelburne overnight may receive a $40 ticket per violation.

Daytime parking - prior to streets being plowed/during heavy snowfalls

If your road has not been plowed or there is a heavy snowfall occurring/significant weather event, do not park on the road.
