OTTAWA, ON, March 11, 2022 – Due to expected snowy weather conditions, a daytime winter weather parking ban will be in effect on Saturday, March 12 between 10 am and 7 pm across Ottawa. These hours might be extended if additional time is needed to complete winter road operations.
Environment and Climate Change Canada says a Winter weather travel advisory in effect for the Ottawa area beginning late this afternoon. Heavy Snow amounts of up to 7 to 12 cm are expected late Friday afternoon into early Saturday morning.
The light snow on Friday late morning is expected to become heavier late this afternoon or this evening. Snow will ease early Saturday morning.
During a winter weather parking ban, parking is prohibited on city streets so crews can plow easily and effectively. Vehicles parked on the street during a ban may be ticketed and towed. On-street monthly parking permit holders are exempt from this restriction when they are parked in residential parking permit zones.
