Do I Have to Pay a Parking Meter During a Snow Emergency?

September 17, 2023

No, during snow emergencies all Parking Meter rules and regulations are temporarily suspended until the snow emergency is lifted. Vehicles will still be ticketed during a snow emergency if they are blocking crosswalks, fire hydrants, handicap parking areas and any other obstructions.
