This is a winter advisory update from the City of Pawtucket. Due to the impending snowstorm, the city has initiated a parking ban starting at 4 PM today, January 19, 2025 until further notice.
How do parking bans work?
- Typically, an on-street parking ban is put into effect when two or more inches of snow are forecasted.
- Once declared, all vehicles must be moved off the streets during the designated time.
- Parking bans are announced on the city’s website, social media platforms, CodeRED alerts, and local radio and TV broadcasts.
Avoid fines and towing:
- Vehicles left on the street during a parking ban will be towed at the owner’s expense or fined $100.
- After the parking ban is lifted, vehicles must be removed from municipal parking areas within two hours or risk towing and a $100 fine.
- It is vital that cars are moved into city lots, and then removed from city lots in a timely manner.
- If cars are left on the street during a ban, this delays the Department of Public Works in their snow removal process, meaning it will take longer for our streets to be cleaned.
- On the opposite end of the parking ban, it is crucial that cars are removed within the two hour period after lifting the parking ban. Most designated lots are school parking lots. If residents do not remove their car in a timely fashion, it can delay school re-openings.
