Oklahoma City overnight parking is generally permitted for passenger vehicles, with one key limitation: in residential areas, oversize vehicles (over 7 feet wide or 24 feet long) may not park between 8:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. (Sec. 32-322). There is no fixed Oklahoma City winter parking ban, but during snow and ice events the City asks drivers to keep designated snow routes clear - see the OKC winter weather page for maps and updates. Vehicles that obstruct operations or violate code can be cited and may be impounded under City authority. Need to report a parking issue? Use the Action Center (311). Tip: during storms, avoid snow routes and cul-de-sacs so plows can pass - move cars off-street when possible.
