Full Notification

In order to facilitate the safe and efficient removal of snow from public streets and particularly to maintain clear routes for emergency vehicles and school buses, Highland adopted a local Ordinance that prohibits parking on public streets during a snowfall of 1 or more inches. The Town recognizes that there are numerous homes that do not have driveways or sufficient off-street parking. In such cases, enforcement will be reviewed on a case by case basis.

Further, shoveling, blowing or plowing snow onto the public street is prohibited.

HMC Chapter 10.20.220
Special Regulations for Snow Removal

(A) It is hereby declared and proclaimed that it is necessary for the public health and safety that the streets of the town be cleared of snow, and if the clearing of the snow is impeded and delayed by vehicles parked on the streets, such impediment and delay is detrimental to the public health and safety.

(B) Whenever there has been snow of one inch or more, no person shall park a vehicle on any street until such time that the snow has been cleared from the streets. Vehicles shall be relocated to areas off street or on-street areas that have already been previously cleared of snow.

(C) If such vehicles are not removed from the street after ticketing, it shall be the duty of the officer to employ a reputable person to remove such vehicle from the streets and store them at a garage or within a vehicle pound, and the reasonable cost of removal from storage shall be paid by the owners of the vehicle.

(D) Whenever any vehicle is found to be in violation of this section, then the officer finding such vehicle shall take its registration number and any other information displayed on such vehicle which may identify its owner or user, and shall conspicuously affix to such vehicle a ticket.
