Winter Parking Ban
The winter months are approaching and unfortunately with that comes bad weather. Your Public Works Department works diligently to provide the safest driving conditions possible when maintaining our streets.
We want to remind you that the Town of Merrimack has winter parking and snow removal ordinances that go into effect on November 15th.
Town ordinance (183-19): If the town declares a “Snow Emergency”, there will be no parking on town streets and roads until the snow emergency has been lifted.
Winter parking ban (183-17): No vehicle or trailer shall be parked on any public street or highway between the hours of 11:00pm and 6:00am from November 15th until April 15th.
Impeding Snow removal (183-18): No vehicle or trailer shall be parked on any public street or highway from November 15th until April 15th in such a manner as to impede snow removal.
The Merrimack Police Department and the Merrimack Department of Public Works asks all residents to assist them in their efforts to maintain safe roads and highways by complying with this request.
We hope that enforcement will not be necessary; however, a violation of this ordinances can be punishable by a fine up to $500.00. In addition, your vehicle will be towed from the street at your expense.
