WINTER PARKING ON CITY STREETS
Public streets in the city of Worcester fall under two
categories, PERMANENT and DECLARED A
PERMANENT BAN will remain in effect on Emergency Arteries, WRTA Bus Routes and
streets that are critical to the flow of traffic. The permanent ban means that
from December 1 through April 30 there is no parking on one or both sides of the
street between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. and also when a snow emergency is
declared, anytime day or night. A DECLARED BAN will be in effect on all
remaining city streets. The declared ban means that parking is allowed on both
sides of the street until the winter parking ban is put into effect. You can
expect the winter parking ban to go into effect whenever inclement weather is
forecasted.
