During winter snow events, Tuolumne County and Caltrans require streets to be clear so plows and emergency vehicles can pass. Overnight on-street parking is restricted on signed routes during chain control periods.
Twain Harte sits in heavy Sierra snow country, with Caltrans Highway 108 chain controls regularly active from November through April. Tuolumne County Public Works requires streets in the Twain Harte area to remain clear of parked vehicles during plowing operations. Posted routes prohibit overnight parking during snow advisories so that plows, fire engines, and ambulances can pass. Vehicles left in plow paths can be tagged, ticketed, and towed at owner expense. RVs and trailers face the strictest enforcement, since they block plows entirely. Driveway visibility markers (snow stakes) help avoid accidental towing.
Citation under county vehicle code, tow at owner expense (often hundreds of dollars), and possible fines for repeat snow-emergency violations.
