Abbotsford overnight parking is allowed on most city streets so long as you follow posted signs and the citywide 72-hour limit. There is no fixed Abbotsford winter parking ban, but during snow and ice operations the City may post temporary no-parking signs and vehicles that block plows can be towed without notice. Review the official Abbotsford parking regulations for rules and time limits. No overnight permit is required for public streets (downtown pay/time limits still apply). Tip: if snow is forecast, move off-street early and check for temporary signs to avoid towing and delays. For concerns, submit a bylaw service request online.
