The Toronto Police Service would like to inform the public of a Major Snowstorm Condition declared by the General Manager of Transportation Services and its impact on parking regulations.

On Saturday, March 4, 2023, at 11 a.m., Municipal Code Chapter 950-406 was enacted, making parking illegal on posted snow route arterial roadways. The prohibition is for a period of 72 hours to assist with ploughing and snow removal. The declaration may be shortened or lengthened depending on how much snow needs to be removed.

Snow route parking regulations are now in effect and vehicles found committing a violation will be ticketed, towed and impounded under these regulations. Designated snow routes are primarily located in the downtown core and include all streetcar routes.

Road users should keep a safe distance from snow clearing vehicles, be patient and give City crews room to make our roads and sidewalks safe and accessible. Police, fire and paramedic services rely on clear roads to respond quickly to emergencies.

Impounded vehicles will be located at one of the tow companies located in the link provided. Residents may call the Toronto Police Service non-emergency line at 416-808-2222 to locate a vehicle that has been towed.
