The City of Winnipeg’s residential parking ban has started.

The ban went in effect as of 7 a.m. Sunday to clear ice and snow in residential neighbourhood. It will expire at 7 p.m. on Tuesday.

During the residential parking ban, the winter route parking ban will be suspended, allowing drivers to park on the routes overnight. Vehicles parked in the residential ban’s zone during the period may receive a $200 ticket.

The residential ban is rolling in zones throughout the period:

• From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday: zones E, G, I, P, S;
• From 7 p.m. Sunday to 7 a.m. Monday: zones B, F, J, L, N, R, T, U;
• From 7.a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday: zones A, H, K, M, O, Q;
• From 7 p.m. Monday to 7 a.m. Tuesday: zones C, V; and
• From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday: zone D.

Residents can check their zone by using the Know Your Zone app, city’s snow map or by contacting 311.

The winter route ban will come back when the residential ban ends. The city reminded drivers that other on-street signages, like no parking during rush hour and loading zones, are still in effect.

Residents are asked to wait until the ban’s expiry before reporting a missed street, since crews can return at any point, the city said. Reports can be made after 7 p.m. on Tuesday by contacting 311.
