Brampton overnight parking is not allowed on any city street from 02:00–06:00. Residents can request a short-term “Parking Consideration” to waive the 2–6 a.m. and 3-hour limits via the City’s portal: Parking Consideration. During a snow event, all on-street parking is prohibited and previously issued permits are suspended; vehicles that interfere with plowing are subject to enforcement. Tip: if snow is forecast, move vehicles off the road before plows arrive—permits won’t protect you during winter operations.
