Saskatoon overnight parking is permitted on most streets, with a citywide 72-hour limit unless otherwise signed. There is no fixed seasonal ban; instead the City may declare a Snow Route Parking Ban on Green Circle/Blue Square routes for 24 hours with at least 8 hours' notice. Violations can lead to towing and a C$100 ticket under Traffic Bylaw 7200. Check the live Snow Grading & Parking Bans map before leaving a car on priority streets. No overnight permit is required citywide (local permit/timed zones still apply). Tip: once a ban is announced, move off snow routes before the start time to avoid relocation, towing, and fines.
