Winter Overnight Parking Restrictions

2 a.m. to 6 a.m. Overnight Parking Restrictions 

Our bylaw states cars must be off the road between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. between November 15 and April 15.

We thank you for your co-operation in keeping the roads free from parked vehicles during the prohibited times.

Along with the overnight parking restrictions, tickets will be issued as per bylaw 4574-04.T Section 3.2 (a) (xv)

(a) No person shall park any vehicle on any highway:

     (xv) so as to interfere with the clearing of snow from the highway.

What are my responsibilities as a vehicle owner?

It's your responsibility to make sure your parked vehicle is off the roadway between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. to allow for snow clearing and winter road maintenance. 

Our priority is to make sure road treatment and snow removal is safe and efficient.

How can I find out about snow plowing in my neighbourhood?

Using the Where's my Plow mobile app  you can find real-time information about when your street has been, or will be, plowed.

Toys for Tickets

Aurora Bylaw Services has partnered with York Regional Police for their annual Toys for Tickets campaign. In the spirit of the holiday season, parking tickets issued from November 15 to December 13 can be paid for by donating a new, unwrapped toy or food donation of equal or greater value to the penalty of your parking ticket. All toys, food donations and gift cards will be collected for York Regional Police’s Holiday Heroes campaign. Donations support children and families in need throughout Aurora and Newmarket.

The program excludes offences for “parking in a fire route,” “parking in an accessible parking space” and “obstructing an accessible parking space”.

Criteria

The value of the donation must be equal to or exceed the amount owing on the parking ticket. Toy(s) must be new, unwrapped and in their original packaging. Donations of more than one toy will be accepted. Cash will not be accepted.

Donations that total the early infraction payment will be accepted only within the early payment period. If your donation is less than the value of the ticket, you are required to pay the remaining balance.

Include your Receipt: Donations must be accompanied by original receipts. No photocopied or emailed receipts will be accepted.

Drop-Off

Donations will be accepted at Aurora Town Hall, Access Aurora, 1st floor, 100 John West Way. Donations will not be accepted after Monday, December 13, 2021.
