Snow and winter rules in St. John’s

St. John’s has a dedicated Snow Clearing By-Law governing winter parking and snow-clearing operations. The local check is especially important because restrictions change with designated streets and winter operations.

For the next St. John’s snow event

Road plowing does not settle the sidewalk question. Check whether the city clears this frontage, whether the property has a duty, and whether parking controls are active.

A second street frontage can create another clearing area even when it is not used as the main entrance.

Before a major storm, reopen the official municipal page instead of relying on a bookmarked summary from a previous year.
