Full Notification

ODD/EVEN OVERNIGHT PARKING DECEMBER 1 – APRIL 15:  The City of Manchester’s odd/even overnight winter on-street parking restriction goes into effect on the morning of December 1^st at 1:00 AM, and will run through April 15^th at 6:00 AM.  Where parking is normally allowed on a street, the Overnight Winter Parking restriction permits vehicles to be parked only on the odd-numbered address side of a street on odd-numbered calendar months, and only on the even-numbered address side of a street on even-numbered calendar months, beginning after 1:00 AM and until 6:00 AM.  This means you must park on the even side of the street during the month of December, and in January you must park on the odd side of the street, etc.  If parking is presently allowed on only one side of the street during the day, parking will be permitted on that side of the street every night.  No overnight parking is permitted on the circular portion of dead-end cul-de-sacs.  You may be fined for Overnight Winter Parking violations per City Ordinances, including Chapter 71.  These parking allowances are prohibited if a Snow Emergency has been declared (see below).

NO PARKING ON ANY CITY STREET WHEN A SNOW EMERGENCY IS DECLARED:  All vehicles must be removed from City streets upon the declaration of a Snow Emergency by the Public Works Director or his authorized agent, in accordance with Chapter 71 of City Ordinances.  Upon declaration of a Snow Emergency:

• White, flashing strobe lights will activate on traffic lights at major intersections
• An announcement will be posted to the City website at www.manchesternh.gov
• Text, email, and social media notifications will be sent out
• Vehicles may be parked for free at various locations offered by the City (listed below)

Any vehicle parked in violation of a Snow Emergency declaration is subject to towing and impoundment.  Vehicles that have been impounded will be stored in the City’s vehicle impound lot adjacent to the Bridge Street entrance to Derryfield Park.  In order to recover an impounded vehicle, the owner will be required to present proof of ownership and pay $200 in cash (fees subject to change) within 24 hours of the time the vehicle was towed.  Vehicles not recovered within 24 hours will be subject to additional storage charges.  Parking fines are in addition to any towing and/or storage fees.  Fees are subject to change without notice.
