Syracuse enforces odd-even overnight parking rules Nov 15-Apr 1 for snow removal. Suburban Onondaga towns vary; some ban overnight on-street parking year-round on residential streets.
Syracuse receives an average of 120+ inches of snow annually, among the highest of any major U.S. city. To allow plowing, Syracuse City Code Chapter 42 (Parking) enforces an odd-even on-street parking rule from November 15 through April 1: park on the odd-numbered side on odd calendar dates, even side on even dates, with switches at a specified time (typically 6 PM or midnight per posted signs). Declared snow emergencies override to full on-street parking bans. Suburban Onondaga towns implement their own winter parking restrictions: Clay, Salina, Cicero, DeWitt, and Camillus commonly ban all on-street overnight parking (2 AM-6 AM) year-round on residential streets to facilitate plowing and public safety. Unincorporated county roads fall under Onondaga County Department of Transportation jurisdiction. Towing and storage fees range from $150-$300 plus daily storage.
Syracuse odd-even violation: $30-$50 fine. Snow emergency violation: $75-$100 plus towing. Suburban overnight parking: typically $25-$75 per ticket.
