Full Breakdown
from December 1 to March 30, regardless of whether snow is falling. Separately, § 317-18 bars any vehicle from being parked on a public street where it impedes snow removal, and § 317-19 makes it unlawful for anyone with custody or control of a vehicle to stop, cause to be stopped, or park on a public street or highway so as to impede or interfere with the Town's snow-clearing operations, at any time of year a plowable event occurs. The Police Department enforces both rules and, under § 317-16, may remove a violating vehicle at its discretion; the owner must pay towing and storage costs before the vehicle is released.
The fine schedule in § 317-15A sets a $20 fine for a winter parking ban violation and a $100 fine, five times higher, for interference with snow-clearing operations specifically, reflecting how seriously the Town treats vehicles that block plows mid-storm. Under § 317-15B, if a fine is not paid within 72 hours, the registered owner or operator is issued a summons to appear in Nashua District Court and may face the maximum fine allowed by law; checks are payable to the Town of Hudson, New Hampshire. These provisions sit in Chapter 317, Article III, Parking Restrictions, which the Board of Selectmen enforces alongside the Hudson Police Department.
Violations & Fines
A winter overnight parking violation (11 p.m. to 7 a.m., Dec. 1 to Mar. 30) carries a $20 fine under § 317-15A. Interference with active snow-clearing operations carries a $100 fine, the highest amount in the parking fine table. Unpaid fines after 72 hours escalate to a summons in Nashua District Court under § 317-15B, and the Police Department may tow and store the vehicle at the owner's expense under § 317-16.
