City of Peterborough Reminds Residents of Winter Parking Restrictions

Peterborough, ON – The City of Peterborough is reminding residents that winter parking restrictions begin December 1 to support snow-clearing operations throughout the season. 

Winter parking restrictions: 

• From December 1 to April 1, parking is prohibited on all city streets from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. The penalty is $35. 

• During a snowstorm, when snow-clearing operations are underway, no parking is permitted on any city street. The penalty is $80, and vehicles may be towed. Snow-clearing operations typically take place between midnight and 8 a.m. 

These restrictions help crews clear roads safely and efficiently, especially during overnight snow operations. 

Overnight parking options 

Free overnight parking is permitted at all municipal parking lots, including the King Street Parkade, 202 King St. and the Simcoe Parking Garage, 190 Simcoe St.  If customers are using either parking garage overnight due to a snowstorm, they can obtain a gate arm ticket upon entry, which can be used for a free transit trip home.
