Full Breakdown
from December 1 to March 30, regardless of whether snow is actually falling that night. It sits alongside two related street-clearing rules: § 317-18 bars parking on any public street in a way that impedes snow removal, and § 317-19 separately bars stopping or parking so as to interfere with the Town's snow-clearing operations. 'Public streets' for this Article means all ways serviced by public snow-removal equipment and all streets the Town has formally accepted (§ 317-14). The fine schedule in § 317-15, last amended February 8, 2016 by Ordinance No.
16-01, lists 'Winter parking ban' at a flat $20, distinct from the $100 fine for actually interfering with snow-clearing operations. If the $20 fine isn't paid within 72 hours, the vehicle's operator or registered owner is issued a summons to appear in Nashua District Court and can face the maximum fine the court allows, with checks payable to the Town of Hudson (§ 317-15B). The Police Department can also have a violating vehicle towed at its discretion, with removal and storage costs billed to the owner before the vehicle is released (§ 317-16).
Violations & Fines
A first winter overnight-parking violation is a flat $20 fine under the schedule in § 317-15. Unpaid fines escalate fast: after 72 hours the owner gets a summons to Nashua District Court and faces the maximum fine the court can impose, and the Police Department can tow and store the vehicle at the owner's expense under § 317-16 regardless of whether the court fine has been resolved.
