The City of Calgary is advising drivers that a snow route parking ban will go into effect this Saturday, Feb. 10 beginning at 10 a.m.
The city said the parking ban is due to “significant accumulations” of snow and high drifts across Calgary.

Drivers who park on a snow route are asked to move their vehicles off of streets marked with a snowflake symbol.
The city said the parking ban will help crews clear Priority 2 routes from curb to curb “efficiently” and “safely.”
The most recent snow route parking began Monday Feb. 5 and ended at 7 a.m. on Wednesday. The city said a total of 2,945 tickets were issued.
A snow route parking ban ticket starts at $75 but is reduced if paid at an earlier date.
