‘No Parking’ Signs 

Please watch for ‘no parking’ signs and move parked vehicles from roadways on which ‘no parking’ signage is posted. Moving parked vehicles from roadways allows crews to conduct street sweeping operations safely and more efficiently.

Removing your parked vehicle from roadways on which ‘no parking’ signage is posted in advance of street sweeping operations is a requirement under the Town’s Traffic Bylaw 388-17 and may result in fines and towing of the vehicle at the owner’s expense if needed.

Motorists are asked to keep a safe distance from the street sweeper and take alternate routes to avoid street sweeping equipment where possible.

Street sweeping is weather permitting and may be interrupted due to inclement weather.

Please note that Highway 2A and Highway 53 are provincial roadways that are maintained by the Alberta Ministry of Transportation’s highway contractor, Mainroad Alberta Ltd.
