Parking Regulations During snow emergencies, parking is only allowed on the even side of the street on secondary roads (side streets). This is to allow plows to access the street. Cars parked on the odd side will be ticketed and towed during snow emergencies. On main arterial streets (see list below), there is NO PARKING ANYTIME during a snow emergency. Signs are posted on those streets. Cars parked on main arterials during snow emergencies will be ticketed and towed. During snow emergencies, residents of main arteries can park on secondary roads, even if they are permit only, as the resident parking regulations are temporarily lifted during emergencies.

Shoveling Information Per City Ordinance, property owners must shovel their sidewalks within 6 daylight hours of the end of a snowstorm. Failure to do so may result in fines. Make sure to clear openings at corners, crosswalks, curb cuts and fire hydrants so pedestrians and emergency personnel can access areas efficiently. DO NOT shovel snow or ice into the street. If you need assistance with shoveling, the City publishes a list of available shovelers at http://www.medfordma.org/snow, or by calling the Medford Council on Aging at 781-396-6010.
