Milwaukee 2018 Winter Parking Regulations

MILWAUKEE, WI -- Thanksgiving has come and gone, and it looks like the snow is here to stay. In Milwaukee, that means winter parking and snow removal guidelines are either here or are right around the corner.

Winter parking begins in Milwaukee on December 1 and runs until March 1. Here are the city rules related to parking:

Overnight Parking

No overnight parking is allowed on through highways and mass transit (bus) routes from December 1 to March 1. These streets are not posted. For a list of these streets please go to the Winter Parking Regulations- Not Posted page.

In case of a "Snow Emergency" prior to December 1 or after March 1, vehicles must be moved to a side street and must be legally parked in conformity with all other regulations on the proper side of the street.

Specific-Side Parking

Certain residential streets are restricted to parking on a specific side of the street during the winter months.

These streets are posted with signs reading "No Parking" on one side of the street, either for the entire December 1 to March 1 period, or with a monthly alternation of the prohibited side. To determine whether this regulation applies to a specific street go to Street Parking Regulations.

Exception Alternate-Side Parking

Night parking is allowed on both sides of these streets from March 1 to December 1. From December 1 to March 1 alternate side night parking is required.

On even-numbered calendar days (before midnight) a vehicle with a valid night permit must be legally parked on the side of the street with even house numbers; on odd-numbered calendar days (before midnight) a vehicle must be parked on the side of the street with odd house numbers.

Parking is allowed between 2:00 A.M. and 6:00 A.M. with a valid permit or night parking permission with some exceptions.
