Winter Parking Restrictions

Parked and abandoned cars are among the biggest problems faced by city crews when they plow our city streets. And Ald. Murphy wants to remind you that winter parking restrictions are in effect until March 1st, and motorists should look for signs describing the parking restrictions along streets that are affected by winter rules. These possible restrictions could include:

Specific Side Parking - No parking on one or both sides of the street Dec. 1 - March 1. No parking on one or both sides of a street during a particular winter month.
4" Rule - Certain residential streets are posted "No Parking When 4" of Snow or More." No parking is allowed on the side of the street where the sign is posted until snow has been removed.
Route Towaway Zone - No parking is allowed during declared snow emergencies on highways marked with "Snow Route Towaway Zone" signs.
Night Parking During Snow Emergency - If a snow emergency has been declared, night parking regulations are in effect from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. on all city streets regardless of the winter parking regulation.

Milwaukee Public Schools make some playgrounds and parking lots available for over-night parking during declared snow emergencies and clean-up periods. Call the DPW Information Center at 286-8282 for the location of a playground nearest your home.

Some winter parking regulations are not posted. If you are unsure about regulations in your area, and want information on a particular street, call the DPW Parking Enforcement Section at 286-8350. Streets are also listed on the Department of Public Works section of the city web site, www.milwaukee.gov under parking services.
