Town of Scarborough

Parking Ban Ordinance

Adopted 12-17-2003

301.0      Administrative Policy on Parking Bans During Weather Emergencies (adopted 12/17/03)
The purpose of this policy is to communicate the intent of the Town of Scarborough, as it relates to the banning of vehicles parked on the streets of Scarborough during weather emergencies.
In order to properly remove snow and to provide safer travel conditions, the Town of Scarborough does implement parking bans during inclement weather.  After consultation with the Director of Public Works, the Chief of Police shall decide to impose a parking ban when serious and extended snowfall is forecast.  During an emergency parking ban, all vehicles are prohibited from parking on any street within the Town of Scarborough unless the ban is specifically described and advertised as being limited to a particular area.
Once a parking ban has been imposed, the local broadcast media will immediately be notified of the ban and of the estimated time frame that the ban will remain in effect.  If you are unsure if there is a parking ban in effect, you can call our hotline at 730-4300 option 2.
The Town of Scarborough strictly enforces parking bans – all vehicles in violation WILL BE TOWED at the owner’s expense.
