Pay extra attention to designated parking spaces signage in the winter

Jan 10, 2025

During the winter, Edmundston By-law relating to the regulation of traffic, parking and the use of streets stipulate that the City of Edmundston prohibits on-street parking between midnight and 7 a.m., from November 15 to April 15, to allow Public Works Department teams to carry out safe and efficient snow and ice removal from the streets. Please note that downtown parking is always permitted unless the flashing lights have been activated on the snow removal signs.

However, it is prohibited to park in a space designated for emergency vehicles (fire engines, ambulances). Additionally, the NB Motor Vehicle Act states that “(…) a person shall not stop, immobilize or park a vehicle in any of the following places: (…)

d) within five meters of the point of the border or edge of the roadway which is directly in front of a fire hydrant (…)

h) between a safety zone and the adjacent border or less than ten meters from the points of the border which are opposite -towards the ends of a zone of safety (…)

n) at any place where official signs prohibit stopping. »

Please make sure to check that there are no designated parking signs or fire hydrants before parking. Remember that vehicle owners who do not comply with the regulations may be fined.

The City of Edmundston and Edmundston downtown thank you for your understanding and collaboration to make our streets safer during the winter season.
