Manchester Winter Parking Rules
Take Effect December 1st
ODD / EVEN PARKING DECEMBER 1 – APRIL 15
The City of Manchester’s overnight winter on-street, odd/even parking ban goes into effect on the morning of December 1st at 1:00 AM, and will run through April 15th. Where parking is normally allowed on a street, the Overnight Winter Parking Ban permits vehicles to be parked only on the odd numbered side of a street on odd numbered calendar months, and only on the even numbered side of a street on even numbered calendar months beginning after 1:00 AM and until 6:00 AM. This means you should park on the even side of the street during the month of December, and in January you will park on the odd side of the street, etc. If parking is presently allowed on only one side of the street during the day, then parking will be permitted on that side of the street every night. No overnight parking is permitted on the circular portion of dead-end cul-de-sacs. You may be fined for Overnight Winter Parking Violations per City Ordinances, including Chapter 71. These parking allowances are prohibited if a Snow Emergency has been declared (see below).
NO PARKING ON ANY CITY STREET WHEN A SNOW EMERGENCY IS DECLARED
All vehicles must be removed from City streets upon the declaration of a Snow Emergency by the Public Works Director or his authorized agent, in accordance with Chapter 71 of City Ordinances.
