SNOW EMERGENCY
The no parking requirement will be enforced by the City of Falls Church Police Department on designated snow emergency routes (see list of streets below and on the City’s website at www.fallschurchva.gov/SnowRoutes). These routes are essential transportation corridors for the City and must remain clear in order to allow snow removal crews to clear the roads. Citizens are also encouraged wherever possible to not park cars on any streets so snow plows have unheeded passage.

First priority for salting, sanding, and plowing will be snow emergency routes. Upon completion of clearing emergency routes, City crews will clear all other City streets.

Traffic signs identify which City streets are snow emergency routes. Vehicles abandoned or parked on snow emergency routes may be towed and fined. The traffic emergency routes are as follows, and available on the City’s website atwww.fallschurchva.gov/SnowRoutes:
