SLCo Reminds Residents of Winter Parking Rules

Winter Parking Rules
for Salt Lake County



Motor vehicles parked on streets during winter snow storms are a serious public safety hazard. As winter approaches the Salt Lake County Public Works Department reminds residents in the unincorporated area to move their vehicles from the street in time for snow removal.
 
November through April cars should be moved off the street before or during anticipated snowstorms (Ordinance 11.20.135). The ordinance makes it illegal for anyone to leave a car parked or abandoned on the road where there is any accumulation of snow on the road.
 
Cars parked on streets, particularly in cul-de-sacs and subdivisions, prevent county crews from providing efficient snow removal. Narrow streets in some of the older parts of the county place additional barriers for motorists, pedestrians and snow plows. Unplowed streets are hazards for the driving public and emergency response vehicles.
 
Under the ordinance, violators may be cited or have their vehicles impounded.
 
County Ordinance (14.32.100) requires residents to remove snow from the sidewalk within one hour after the snow has stopped, unless the storm occurs between the hours of 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., the sidewalk must be cleaned before 8:00 a.m. the morning following the storm.
 
County Ordinance (14.20.105) Prohibits residents of depositing or placing snow on any County road or highway, and prohibits snow being place in gutter which restricts the flow of water.
