All vehicles must be removed from the streets to allow for snow removal operations. Vehicles found in violation of the parking ban may be ticketed and/or towed at the owner's expense to ensure that roads remain clear for emergency vehicles and snow removal operations.

"Residents and visitors are urged to plan and park responsibly to help keep roadways clear and safe," Marblehead police said. "It's important for drivers to watch out for pedestrians who may be in the roadway and yield cautiously when approaching or passing them."
