The City of Madison snow emergency parking rules will be in effect tonight, December 10, 2022 and into the early morning of December 11, 2022.

Alternate side parking will be in effect throughout the entire City of Madison this evening, including the Snow Emergency Zone.

When snow emergency parking rules are in effect, they typically last for two consecutive evenings. Residents should plan on following alternate side parking rules tonight (December 10) and again on Sunday night into Monday morning.

All Madison residents are encouraged to choose off-street parking options for their vehicles and trailers. Fewer obstacles in the road means plowing operations will be safer, faster, and more complete. You must also follow all posted daytime parking restrictions. These parking restrictions help plowing operations by creating an open lane of travel for plow trucks. Failure to follow posted daytime parking restrictions can result in your vehicle being ticketed and towed.

Other Parking Information
When a Declared Snow Emergency is in effect, parking will be available in the cashiered sections of city-owned ramps in the downtown area.

During a declared snow emergency you can park for no charge at the City ramps from 9 p.m. until 7 a.m. If you enter before 9 p.m. or leave after 7 a.m. you are liable for any parking charges before 9 p.m. and from 7 a.m. until the time you leave.

When parking in the ramps overnight, do not park on the top levels so this area can be plowed. Be aware that vehicles stored in city ramps longer than 48 hours are subject to being ticketed and towed. Meters in lots and ramps are enforced 24 hours per day, 7 days a week. Parking will also be available at the Brittingham Park Shelter parking lot off of W. Washington Ave.
