The parking ban will be in effect once again.

The Halifax Regional Municipality has activated the overnight parking ban for Friday evening into Saturday morning.

According to the municipality, the ban will begin at 1 a.m. and last until 6 a.m., so that crews can properly clear the streets and sidewalks of the snow.

However, the Nova Scotia Motor Vehicle Act does state that tickets can be issued and vehicles towed at any time if they are parked in a way that interferes with snow clearing.

Parking tickets issued under the winter overnight parking ban are $50.
