Worcester Declares Winter Parking Ban Ahead Of Snow

The ban goes into effect at 6 p.m. on Feb. 20

WORCESTER, MA- A messy mix of snow and sleet is headed toward the area and Worcester wasted no time in declaring a parking ban ahead of Wednesday's storm. Much of the Commonwealth has been placed under a winter weather advisory.

During the Declared Winter Parking Ban, there is no parking on either side of main arteries, bus routes, and streets in the downtown area.

On all other streets, parking is only permitted on the odd numbered side of the street, unless otherwise posted. Parking enforcement—including ticketing and towing—will be active during the Declared Winter Parking Ban.

The parking ban will be lifted at 1 p.m. on Feb. 21.
