Covered under: Winnipeg Parking By–Law No. 86/2016 Section 12(1) Time-limited parking zone Subject to this section, where a parking space is governed by a traffic control device that specifies the length of time that a vehicle may be parked in that space, no vehicle may be parked in that space for a greater length of time. Some of the streets in Winnipeg have one and two hour use restrictions, meaning that they are intended for short term parking use only. If you are parked in a one or two hour restricted area, please park within the time restriction, and if you have to stay longer, please move to a longer term Off Street parking lot, or to another short term parking zone. Your vehicle can be ticketed if you do not park on a new section of the block. Please note: Large Vehicle Parking Limited to One Hour is also enforced under Parking Beyond Time Limit Offence. See Section 13 for full details. |
