Quick answer
Always check the City’s live snow-emergency status and map; posted signs and the current plowing phase control where you may park.
What to do
- Check stpaul.gov/snow before parking after a declaration.
- Downtown streets are Night Plow Routes; follow the City’s current phase and posted signs.
- Move again if necessary during cleanup because unplowed areas may remain subject to ticketing and towing.
Saint Paul uses phased parking rules so plows can clear streets. The timing and permitted side can change by phase, route, and signed restriction, so a remembered rule is not a substitute for the live City map.
The City states that vehicles violating winter parking rules may be ticketed and towed for up to 96 hours after the emergency begins. This guide is informational; City notices and street signs control.
