Overnight on-street parking is restricted in most Suffolk County towns during winter months (November 1-April 1), typically 2 AM-6 AM, to facilitate snow plowing. Year-round overnight bans apply in several incorporated villages.
Brookhaven, Islip, Babylon, Smithtown, and Huntington all enforce winter overnight parking bans, generally 2 AM-5 AM or 2 AM-6 AM from November through March or April. Violations are enforced by town public safety officers and local police. Village of Patchogue Code 415-19 imposes year-round 3 AM-6 AM on-street ban. Village of Port Jefferson has similar year-round restrictions. Driveway overnight parking is unrestricted on private property in residential zones.
Snow emergency parking tickets $50-$150. Vehicles blocking plows may be towed at owner expense ($150+ tow plus storage $25/day).
