Erie County has no countywide overnight on-street parking ban. Overnight parking and winter snow-emergency parking bans are set by each town, city, and village. The county's overnight rule applies only inside its parks, which close at night.
Whether you can park overnight on a street depends on your municipality. Many Western New York towns and the City of Buffalo enforce overnight or alternate-side winter parking bans to allow snow plowing during lake-effect storms; those bans are town-level, adopted under New York Vehicle and Traffic Law Section 1660. Erie County's Department of Public Works plows county highways but does not impose or ticket overnight street-parking bans. Within Erie County Parks, day-use areas close at dusk in winter and 9 p.m. in summer, so overnight parking is not permitted outside registered campground sites. During major snow events the county and state may issue commercial-traffic or full travel bans, but routine overnight parking rules remain a municipal matter.
Overnight and snow-ban tickets are issued by the town, city, or village. County park after-hours violations are handled by park staff.
