WINNIPEG — Do you know your snow zone?

The City of Winnipeg is looking at increasing fines for people who park in snow zones that are scheduled for snow clearing.

City staff also proposed changes to improve communication about when an area is being plowed.

Presently, the city is plowed using a system of “snow zones” where people must move their cars to avoid being ticketed and towed ahead of plowing.

This prompts us to ask — do you know your snow zone?
