Parking Regulations

Parking rules help keep streets safe and accessible for everyone. Learn about parking signs, by-law rules, and parking at metered spaces to avoid getting a ticket.

About parking signs

• Not all parking regulations are posted on signs. When parking rules apply to the whole city, signs are not posted. This helps prevent unnecessary clutter from too many signs and saves money on maintenance and installation.
• Generally, signs are only posted when the rule relates to a specific area, block, or street
• Follow all citywide rules and check for posted signs to avoid fines. A sign is not required to receive a fine if you break the rules.

Metered parking tips

• Get the Pay by Phone app or the HONK Mobile app to pay for parking on your phone
• Read the parking meter for rates, time limits, and functionality
• If a meter is not working, report it to the city with the meter number. Please move your vehicle from the space and park at a working meter.
• If you get a ticket at a broken meter, visit our office at the MacBain Community Centre to appeal it. Our staff will check service records to confirm if the meter was out of order when you received the ticket.
