Cambridge Declares Snow Emergency Parking Ban For March 13 Storm

CAMBRIDGE, MA – The city of Cambridge has declared a snow emergency parking ban for this week's storm. The ban will go into effect at 11 p.m. on Monday, March 12. Cars parked on streets with signs reading "No Parking During a Snow Emergency" will be ticketed and towed until the ban is lifted.

Free parking will be provided at a number of facilities starting at 6 p.m. on Monday, March 12. A listing of facilities that provide free parking during snow emergencies, is available at: CambridgeMA.GOV/Snow.

Residents should park at least 20 feet from the street corner. In the winter, parking this far away from the corner allows plows to push snow away from crosswalks, improves visibility and safety, and ensures compliance with traffic regulations.

Updated information will be available at CambridgeMA.GOV/Snow throughout the storm, and the public can follow updates on Twitter at @CambMA. The city will be utilizing the hashtag #CambMASnow.

The public are encouraged to sign-up to receive notification of snow emergency parking bans at: CambridgeMA.GOV/Snow. If immediate assistance is needed, please contact the Police Department’s Non-Emergency Line at 617-349-3300.
