New Bedford and Fall River ban on-street overnight parking during declared winter snow emergencies. Taunton has no blanket overnight ban but enforces posted signs. All three permit resident permit parking in some neighborhoods.
Fall River City Code prohibits on-street parking during declared snow emergencies and winter parking bans (typically Dec 1 to Mar 31 on designated streets from 1 AM to 6 AM). New Bedford imposes similar winter parking restrictions with alternate-side or full bans posted street by street. Taunton has no blanket overnight ban but enforces posted hourly and resident-permit signs. Violations during declared snow emergencies commonly result in $50 to $100 tickets plus towing at owner expense. Several neighborhoods in Fall River (north end) and New Bedford (West End, South End) operate resident permit parking zones with overnight exceptions for registered residents. Vehicles without current plates cannot be parked on any public street per MGL ch. 90.
Winter parking ban ticket: $50 to $100 plus tow. Expired registration on street: $35 and tow. Resident-permit zone without permit: $25 to $50.
