Winter Parking Regulations Begin December 1 in Orangeville

The Town of Orangeville’s winter parking regulations will come into effect at 2 a.m. on December 1, to ensure snow plows are able to maintain roadways throughout the winter season.

Parking on the road during the snowy months can pose problems for snowplows, resulting in streets remaining partially or completely unplowed.

Between December 1 and March 31, parking is prohibited from 2 a.m. until 7 a.m. daily on highways and streets within the Town, and on municipal property and parking lots, unless otherwise posted.

Here are a few things to remember:

• There are Town parking lots designated for overnight parking throughout the winter: at the rear of 168–178 Broadway, 82–90 Broadway, Rotary Park and Fendley Park. Signage is posted at each lot to indicate when they are available for parking and which rows in the parking lots may be used on any given day.
• Parking tickets will be issued for any vehicles found in violation of the Traffic By-law.

• If there has been a large amount of snowfall outside of restricted parking hours, residents should avoid parking on the road. Tickets may be issued if a vehicle prevents Town snowplows from being able to remove snow on the street.

• When parking multiple vehicles in your driveway, please ensure no part of your vehicle is hanging over or obstructing the sidewalk, as this will prevent sidewalk plows from getting by.

• Vehicles parked horizontally along the lower portion of the driveway on the paved portion of the boulevard must not hang onto the road or sidewalk, and should not be parked on the grass of the boulevard.
