December marks the first month of winter parking rules in Shelton.
Click here to read the city’s winter parking ordinance.
The rules basically state that from December to March, parking from midnight to 6 a.m. is restricted to one side of city streets.
In odd-numbered months, residents must park on the odd side of the street from midnight to 6 a.m.
In even-numbered months, residents must park on the even side of the street.
In the event of a “snow emergency,” which would be announced by the city, the law says “there shall be no on street parking in sections of the city where access to off-street parking is available including driveways and parking lots, unless otherwise exempted by the police department.”
The fine for violating winter parking rules is $25 for the first violation and $50 for repeat violations.
