Overview
North Haven enforces a parking ban during snow emergencies to keep streets clear for plowing. The Chief of Police declares the ban as conditions warrant, and residents are expected to remove vehicles from public streets during and immediately after snowstorms.
How the Snow Emergency Is Declared
The Chief of Police declares a parking ban as conditions warrant, in accordance with Town Ordinance Section 175. There is no published automatic snowfall threshold — the declaration is discretionary based on conditions.
Parking Rules During a Snow Emergency
Residents must refrain from parking on the street during and immediately after snowstorms. When a ban is declared, it is a full prohibition on street parking. North Haven does not appear to use an odd/even side-of-street system — verify with the North Haven Police Department for specific details.
