SNOW EMERGENCY PARKING GUIDELINES

Snow emergencies begin with NIGHT PLOW ROUTES at 9 p.m. the day of the declared snow emergency.
Night Plow Routes are marked with signs that say “NIGHT PLOW ROUTE” or “NIGHT PLOW ROUTE THIS SIDE OF STREET.”
All of downtown Saint Paul

is part of the Night Plow Route, even though no signs are posted.
Parking is banned on Night Plow Routes until the street is plowed full-width.
Vehicles which are not moved from Night Plow Routes by 9 p.m. on the day of the declared snow emergency will be ticketed and towed.

Snow emergencies continue with DAY PLOW ROUTES the morning following the declared snow emergency.
Plowing starts after night routes are plowed, which is typically around 8 a.m.
There are NO SIGNS on Day Plow Routes.
Parking is banned on these routes until the street has been plowed full-width.
Vehicles which are not moved from Day Plow Routes by 8 a.m. the day after the snow emergency has been declared will be ticketed and towed.

Ticketing and Towing
After the first two phases of the snow emergency are complete, follow-up plowing, sanding and salting and miscellaneous cleanup follows for as long as is required. Any vehicle parked in an area that has not been plowed full-width is subject to ticketing and towing for 4 days (or 96 hours) after the snow emergency initially took effect at 9 p.m.
