Winter Parking Restrictions

The Town of Arnprior has adopted a revised Traffic and Parking By-Law which includes winter parking restrictions from November 15^th to March 31^st with the primary reason being the ability for our Operations, Roads and Services staff to properly maintain the safety of our roadways throughout the winter season. This system also allows us to optimize operational efficiencies and maximize our limited staff resources from both the Operations and By-Law Departments.  Most Eastern Ontario communities (urban and rural) are also using similar seasonal overnight parking bans concept including Mississippi Mills, Carleton Place, Perth, Renfrew and Smiths Falls.

Between November 15^th in one year and March 31^st of the following year (dates inclusive), parking on Town streets and in municipal parking lots is prohibited between the hours of 12:00 AM (midnight) and 7:00 AM, regardless of weather conditions, to allow for thorough and efficient winter maintenance operations.  The Town has a legal responsibility to provide safe roadways for our community and to maintain our streets and sidewalks in accordance with Provincial Minimum Maintenance Standards.

Overnight Winter Parking Areas

The Town of Arnprior has implemented "Overnight Winter Parking Areas" that are exempt from winter parking restrictions to accommodate guests of property owners who may not have sufficient driveway / garage space for additional overnight vehicles during the winter months. All designated parking spaces will be appropriately signed as an “approved overnight winter parking space” and vehicles parked in these spaces will be able to be parked there overnight, provided that they remove their vehicle(s) between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM to permit winter control activities in the surrounding areas. These spaces are offered on a first-come-first-served basis.

We appreciate your support and if you have any questions, please contact the Clerk’s Office by telephone at (613) 623-4231 ext. 1819 or by email at clerks@arnprior.ca.
