Red Deer overnight parking is allowed on public streets provided you follow signs and the citywide 72-hour limit. There is no fixed winter parking ban, but during residential plow campaigns the City declares route-based parking bans and posts temporary signs; vehicles left on affected routes can be ticketed and towed. Use the official Find Your Route snow map to see when your block is scheduled and where to move your car. Rules derive from the City's Traffic Bylaw 3707/2025. No overnight permit is required. Tip: once "No Parking" signs go up on your route, relocate before plows arrive to avoid ticketing and towing.
