Halifax lifts overnight parking ban, police issue nearly 300 tickets

Halifax police issued over $25,000 in parking tickets to drivers who violated the municipal overnight parking ban.

The Halifax Regional Municipality says enforcement of the overnight winter parking ban has been lifted in both Zone 1 – Central and Zone 2 – Non-Central.

The ban was enforced since Sunday due to the latest round of winter weather.

The ban is in effect until March 31.

However, vehicles can be towed any time if they are interfering with snow-clearing operations regardless of the status of an overnight winter parking ban.

Hundreds of tickets issued

Halifax police say they issued 292 parking ban tickets on Sunday night.

The fine for not complying with the winter parking ban in Nova Scotia is $86.60, meaning more than $25,000 worth of tickets were issued.

Four vehicles were also towed.
