Parking ban in effect as snow routes declared in Regina
By CJME NewsJan 7, 2022 | 2:36 PM
The City of Regina declared Friday that snow routes were in effect, meaning on-street parking on some roads will be forbidden starting Saturday morning.
The ban is to take effect Saturday at 6 a.m., and end Sunday at 6 a.m.
“This parking ban allows crews to plow the roads from curb to curb, improving traffic flow along these select roads,” the city said in a release. “As well, it helps make roads passable for emergency response vehicles.”
Affected roads have blue signs with a white snowflake. Vehicles that are parked along snow routes during the 24-hour parking ban will be ticketed.
More information on the city’s snow routes is available here.
