Vehicle operators have to park in a manner consistent with the flow of traffic. That usually means parallel or at an angle to the curb, as indicated by signage and control devices. A vehicle cannot be parked "left side" or driver′s side against the curb unless you are on a one–way street – the only time parking is allowed against the left curb. Vehicles are not to be further than 450 mm (approximately 18 inches) from the curb, and there is to be one meter (approximately 3 feet) between the front and rear bumpers of the parked vehicles.

You cannot park or stop your vehicle in No Stopping zones during these times (not even to load/unload, pick up a passenger, etc).

There is a routine Overnight Parking Ban on public roadways in Winnipeg to permit clearance and removal of ice and snow during the winter months. The Annual Snow Route Parking Ban comes into effect December 1 and continues until March 1, and it applies to all streets bearing the international SNOW ROUTE signs. When the Overnight Parking Ban is in effect, you can not stop, stand, idle, or park a vehicle on these streets between the hours of 02:00 – 07:00.

In addition to the Annual Snow Route Parking Ban, a Declared Parking Ban may be called by the Director of Public Works when additional overnight plowing is required after a snowfall. This ban extends the Annual Snow Route Parking ban by two hours, so when it is declared, vehicles are prohibited from parking on Snow Routes from midnight to 7:00 a.m.

The Mayor may declare a residential parking ban on all residential streets not designated as snow routes. Parking restrictions during this ban will be based on plowing zones. More information on plowing zones is available at http://winnipeg.ca/publicworks/ParkingBans/ParkingBans.asp

Vehicles parked in violation of any snow related parking ban may be towed.

Some Parking Authority and other private off street lots may have stalls available during On Street parking bans. Please plan ahead for winter, and inquire.

Some of the streets in Winnipeg have one and two hour use restrictions, meaning that they are intended for short term parking use only. If you are parked in a one or two hour restricted area, please park within the time restriction, and if you have to stay longer, please move to a longer term Off Street parking lot, or to another short term parking zone. Your vehicle can be ticketed if it hasn't moved through an intersection.

Sidewalks and pedestrian right of ways are for the movement of pedestrians, and this includes members of the elderly or disabled communities. Don′t park in a driveway so as to obstruct, or even partially obstruct, a paved sidewalk or unpaved right of way. Remember that a sidewalk is any City–maintained sidewalk that meets the street, whether the sidewalk continues on the other side of the street or not. If a sidewalk appears to end on one side of the street, you cannot obstruct the movement of pedestrians by parking on the other side, where the sidewalk could otherwise continue.

Streets are for moving traffic and you cannot park your vehicle so as to even partially obstruct an Intersection. This is any place where two public streets meet; they do not have to cross each other, and they do not have to be through streets. For example, if you park to at a "T intersection" on the through street, and obstruct access to the shorter street adjoining, you would be parked in the intersection.

Emergency workers need instant access to emergency equipment; lives depend on it. It is illegal to park in front of a fire hydrant. Presuming that the hydrant is right at the curb edge, you must then leave 3 meters (approximately 10 feet) on either side of the hydrant for emergency workers to have access. In other words, the space left between your car and the car parked on the other side of the hydrant must be 6 meters (approximately 20 feet) with the hydrant in the middle.
