Parking

The Town's Parking By-law 16-82, provides enforcement of non-moving traffic offences in the Town of Grimsby. Municipal Law Enforcement staff conduct regular parking patrols.

Time Limit

The Town of Grimsby has a 16-hour time limit for parking on any street for the following reasons:

• To assist with snow removal, salting and sanding
• To allow for street cleaning and maintenance
• To facilitate garbage and mail pickup
• To control derelict and abandoned vehicles
• To improve traffic flow

Parking Rules Can Change

Since parking rules change depending on the road, always watch for and obey signs that limit stopping, standing or parking.

Be aware that not all parking By-laws are posted on signs, such as, but not limited to these infractions:

• Stop on sidewalk
• Park facing the wrong way
• Park within 3 metres of Fire Hydrant
• Park within 1.5 metres of a driveway / laneway / curb cut or depressed curb

Parking Complaints  

If there appears to be an infraction in your area that has not been addressed, please contact the Municipal Law Enforcement Division to Report an Issue. An Officer will inspect for the reported violation and ticket any vehicles found in contravention of the Parking By-law.

Snow Removal

On-street parking is suspended during snowstorms until the local roads are cleared. Residents are asked to remove parked vehicles from the street during or after each snowfall. This allows the Town to properly clear the snow from the entire road surface. Any vehicle parked or standing in such a manner as to interfere with snow clearing operations may be ticketed or towed away. Vehicles that are towed may be stored in a suitable place, and all costs and charges for removing, care and storage thereof, if any, are a lien upon the vehicle.
