Surrey overnight parking is generally allowed on local streets unless signs say otherwise. There’s no citywide Surrey winter parking ban, but temporary restrictions may appear during snow or maintenance. Obstructions can lead to tickets or towing. Review the City’s rules on the Parking Regulations page and note that vehicles may be impounded if they pose a hazard or continued inconvenience. Tip: avoid leaving your car on-street for extended periods—Surrey enforces a 72-hour rule and may impound repeat offenders.
