There are a number of changes to the City of Winnipeg parking by-law that comes into effect September 1, 2016. Many of the changes are significant and motorists are responsible for knowing the rules. 

Some of the changes are:

• The ability to pay for 30 additional minutes of parking after the initial maximum paid parking limit has expired.
• The requirement to move your vehicle to a different block once the maximum allowable time posted expires.
• The ability to obtain a Temporary Recreational Vehicle (“RV”) Permit to allow parking for up to 3 days, rather than the previous one hour limit.
• Making the rules about the number, type and location of vehicles parked on residential properties a parking offence as well as a zoning violation. This allows enforcement by the WPA in addition to other by-law enforcement officers in the City.
• Maximum of 4 passenger vehicles allowed to be parked on residential property.

• From November 1 to May 14 , no person may park or store a recreational vehicle, motor home or travel trailer on a driveway in the front yard of a property.

• A change that requires street work signs to be posted 24 hours in advance of scheduled street work to allow greater advance notice to the general public.
• A requirement that vehicles parked on a street cannot be connected to an electrical cord or wire that crosses the edge of the street.
