Full Breakdown

When the Director of Public Works or Chief of Police designates streets for snow removal under Section 40-2(c)(2), signs go up announcing the closure, and vehicles left in a marked snow removal zone or a Chief-designated snow emergency zone are cited as a Class "C" parking violation under Section 40-30(d). Officers may also order an unremoved vehicle towed immediately under Section 40-33(b)(3), since sitting in a snow emergency zone qualifies as an emergency situation. Notice is given by newspaper, radio, posted signs, or other means before enforcement begins.

Violations & Fines

A snow emergency zone violation is a Class "C" parking offense carrying a $42 forfeiture if paid within five days, rising with late fees; the vehicle can also be towed at the owner's expense.
