Idaho Falls, ID Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Idaho Falls does not impose a blanket overnight parking ban. City Code Section 9-5-4, headed Snow Event Parking Restrictions, applies during the Winter Season and sets out a list of restrictions for public streets. Subsection (2) is the entry for Night-time Snow Removal Streets, and its rule is short: no parking from eight o'clock (8:00) p.m. local time until eight o'clock (8:00) a.m. local time of the immediately succeeding day.

The opening sentence of the section controls how far that reaches. It says no person shall stop, stand, or park contrary to the listed restrictions, and it names what is covered: a motor vehicle, a motorcycle, or a trailer. A trailer left on a designated street overnight is treated the same as a car, and so is a motorcycle.

The window crosses midnight, which is why the ordinance ties the 8:00 a.m. end point to the immediately succeeding day. A vehicle has to be off a designated street by 8:00 p.m. and can return at 8:00 a.m. the next morning.

Which streets count is decided by Section 9-5-2, which designates the Night-Time Snow Removal Streets. They include 19th Street, Milligan Road, Pier View Drive, River Parkway and Rollandet Avenue. A resident on a street that is not designated under Section 9-5-2 is not subject to subsection (2).

The season is fixed by calendar dates. The Winter Season runs from midnight November 14 through midnight March 15, so the night-time restriction does not apply in the rest of the year.

Other parts of Idaho Falls carry separate snow-event and odd/even-day restrictions under the same chapter. The history note for Section 9-5-4 cites Ord. 2912, 10-25-12 and Ord. 3102, 12-8-16.
