The City of Saint John uses the Winter Management Plan for Street and Sidewalks to determine street and sidewalk snow plowing service objectives. Snow plow routes are established to maintain safe travel routes on arterial streets, emergency routes and highway connections (Priority 1) as well as major bus routes, business districts, and in school and community zones (Priority 2). Citizens using collector streets and local or subdivision streets should exercise caution when traveling during a storm.

To allow for safe and efficient plowing of City streets, on-street parking is not allowed in most of the city between December 1 and March 31 from midnight to 7 a.m. To see if your street is exempt from the restriction, check the Winter Overnight Parking Restriction map.

Exempted streets are signed to tell citizens where parking is allowed. Obey all posted signage in your area. Learn more about alternate side parking rules outside of the South Central Peninsula here.

The entire South Central Peninsula is subject to year-round alternate side parking, which has been in place since 2003. Follow the posted signs on these streets. Learn more about parking in the South Central Peninsula, as well the Snow Ban system, here.

If in doubt about parking on a certain street, please call Municipal Operations at 658-4455 or email municipaloperations@saintjohn.ca.
