Parking Bans Going Into Effect Soon In Western New York
There's nothing more frustrating that starting your day off with a parking ticket. Get ready. The rules are about to change soon in some of these towns.
In Western New York, some towns and villages change their parking rules in the winter months. Mostly they prohibit vehicles from being on certain streets (or certain sides of the street) overnight.
The goal is to keep the roads clear so that snowplows can not only make it down the road more easily, but also they can clear the entire street.
The towns that include an overnight parking ban starting on November 1st include:
- Angola (12 midnight until 7am from Nov 1 - April 1)
- Blasdell (no overnight parking allowed on all Village streets including Lake and South Park Avenues from 1:00 am - 6:00 am from Nov. 1 - March 31)
- Holland (no overnight parking is permitted on Town of Holland streets and roads from November 1st to April 1st)
