Parking ban coming to Fort McMurray following snowfall

Wood Buffalo residents are expected to see ‘no parking’ signs from January 3rd to January 5th as snow removal continues on primary, secondary and tertiary streets.

The classification and priority of roads are determined by traffic volume, usage and location:

1. Primary Routes: Thickwood Boulevard, Confederation Way, the downtown business area (Morrison Street, Hardin Street), Franklin Avenue, Hospital Street and MacKenzie Boulevard
2. Secondary Routes: School zones, transit routes and main access roads to neighbourhoods
3. Tertiary Routes: Roads that are steep, narrow or have unique features like Killdeer Way and Crane Rise
4. Residential Streets: Neighbourhood streets, serviced by the Winter Maintenance Zone program

Failure to follow the signs could result in tickets or fines.
