Saskatoon overnight parking is allowed citywide with a 72-hour limit on most streets - see the City's Understanding Parking. In winter, a 24-hour Snow Route Parking Ban can be declared on signed routes with eight hours' notice, per the Service Level for Snow and Ice Management. Temporary 'No Parking' signs may also restrict parking for snow removal (typically 07:00-19:00 or 19:00-07:00), and vehicles can be ticketed and relocated - use the City's tools if your car is moved. No general overnight permit is required, but RPZs exist near busy areas. Tip: do not exceed 72 hours and move when yellow signs appear to avoid towing under snow emergency parking rules.
