Overnight Parking & Winter Bans in Quebec City

Quebec City overnight parking is generally allowed, but when winter operations are declared the City activates orange flashing beacons and street parking is prohibited overnight. During these events, move off-street and use the municipal lots opened for snow clearance (see the City's Operations de deneigement). Rules and hours can vary by arrondissement, so always check local postings; towing is enforced and vehicles can be located via Info-Remorquage. There is no fixed winter ban window published citywide; bans are announced per operation. No special permit is required for overnight parking outside operations. Tip: if orange beacons activate, aim to be off the street by evening to avoid a ticket or tow and check for alternative lots opened for the night.
