Overnight parking is prohibited and Winter parking restrictions for the Town of Oxford are in effect.

Winter parking restrictions also apply during the daytime hours when a snow event is imminent or occurring.

For everyone’s safety, please avoid parking on the side of the streets at any time during this period to allow for timely and sufficient clearing of snow and ice from the traveled portion of roads, streets, and sidewalks.

Parked vehicles on streets interfere with efficient snow removal operations. Vehicles interfering in this process may be towed at the owner’s expense.

Residents are also asked to remove any items that are close to the road that may impede snow removal processes. For example, basketball nets, toys, decorations, piles of fill, etc.

Snow is not to be pushed into the street by homeowners or private contractors while in the process of removing snow from a residence or business.
