The seasonal puzzle of where to park during the winter will again be faced by Sheboygan vehicle owners at the stroke of midnight on Friday. December 1st begins the Overnight Winter Parking Season in Brat City where, for many years now, citizens have been reminded to “Park for Tomorrow”.
The idea is pretty simple. Before parking your vehicle overnight on the street, look at the calendar. For instance, Saturday is an even-numbered day, and so parking on Friday night should be done on the even-numbered side of city streets. When you park Saturday night, then you’ll use the odd side since Sunday is December 3rd, and those rules are enforced between 12 midnight and 6 a.m. The one catch – and it’s a pretty obvious one – if a street is marked “No Parking”, then that’s the rule…no change. But rules do change when it snows enough to declare a snow emergency.
When that’s declared, then parking is completely prohibited on snow emergency routes, boulevards, cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets until the City announces the end of the emergency. And you’ll get those announcements on-air and through WHBL.com and our other Midwest Communicatons Stations websites.
While snow emergencies can be declared as early as November 1st, the rest of the rules run from December 1st to April 30. By then, if there’s a snow emergency, you might consider parking in a warmer state.
