The City of Port Huron’s snow ordinance goes into effect today, so it’s time to remember to make sure your car is in the driveway at night instead of along a city street.
The snow ordinance prohibits parking on paved city streets between the hours of 2:30 AM to 6 AM so that snow plows can clear streets overnight. The ordinance is in effect from now until March 31, 2022.
Violators of the snow ordinance will get a warning for the first 5 days, but after that, police will issue tickets that result in a $23 fine.
Marysville also has a snow ordinance in effect from today until April 1, 2022. Parking is not allowed on Marysville streets or avenues between 2 AM – 6 AM.
The City of St. Clair doesn’t have a standing snow ordinance; rather, they have a Snow Emergency Ordinance that prohibits parking on any city street when more than 4 inches of snows falls or is in the forecast.
