City of Prince Albert announces snow route parking ban

Feb 18, 2026 | 7:49 AM

As Prince Albert residents begin the arduous task of digging out after Tuesday night’s winter wallop, and with more snow still to come, City administration has confirmed plans for a snow route parking ban.

The ban will take effect at 9a.m. Wednesday, Feb 18. Residents and visitors are asked to avoid parking on designated snow routes to allow for safe and efficient snow clearing.

Parking is prohibited on Snow Routes when a Snow Route Parking Ban is declared. These streets are marked with permanent “No Parking When Declared” signs.

The parking ban will require drivers to immediately remove their vehicles from Snow Routes, as indicated by snow route signs.

For City crews to effectively clear all streets marked with a Snow Route Parking Ban sign, vehicles not removed from the street will be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s expense.

Parking bans are temporary, usually lasting 48 hours, unless persistent snowfall requires a parking ban to be re-declared. In the event that a parking ban is declared, notices will be reissued and will be posted on the City’s Website.

If the Emergency Routes are cleared before 48 hours have elapsed and there is no threat of a continuing storm, the parking ban may be lifted earlier. In this case, a posting will be made on the City website, and notifications will be sent to local media.
