Snow Emergency Parking Ban Begins at 8PM Thursday, February 18, 2021
The Newburyport Department of Public Services (DPS) has issued a Snow Emergency Street Parking Ban beginning at 8PM on Thursday, February 18, 2021 until further notice due to expected snowfall. When a parking ban is in effect, DPS will turn on the flashing blue emergency beacons located at major intersections across the City at least 6 hours in advance of a declared parking ban.
During a Parking Ban, parking is prohibited on all public ways. Any vehicle parked on a public way is subject to ticketing and/or towing at the owner’s expense. The City’s towing priorities are based on access needs for emergency vehicles (Fire, Police, Ambulance), along with the type and duration of the event. Residents may park (free of charge) in city-controlled municipal surface lots until the ban has been rescinded. Owners of vehicles parked in the municipal lots must remove their cars within 12 hours after the parking ban is lifted so the DPS crews can properly clear those lots.
