Parking During a Snow Emergency

Parking During a Snow Emergency  

When Phase II and/or Phase III of the city's snow emergency plan is in effect, motorists may not park on snow emergency routes (indicated by white and black signs). Vehicles parked along snow emergency routes may be ticketed with a $52 fine and then relocated to a safe location.   

• If a snow emergency is declared, DO NOT park your car on Snow Emergency Routes.  
• Black and white snow emergency route signs generally are posted higher on the pole than the other signs, so look up to the top of the pole to make sure you are parked legally.  
• Parking is banned on these routes to allow unimpeded curb-to-curb salting and/or plowing.  
• If your car was towed during a snow emergency, call 311 or call us at 410-396-9958. Note: If you return to a car in the process of being towed, the vehicle must be impounded.  

Towing Locations  

• Pulaski Highway Impound Facility (Main) 6700 Pulaski Highway Baltimore, MD 21237 410-396-9958 or 410-545-3417

If you get a ticket, follow the instructions on the violation. If any questions, please contact Parking and Fines. All outstanding tickets will be included in your fee to release the vehicle from the impound. 

In most cases, if a vehicle is parked in violation of posted parking restrictions a ticket will be issued. But, a parking ticket is not necessary to tow a vehicle.
