Parking Information

PLEASE don’t risk getting your vehicle towed for violating parking regulations, winter or snow emergency parking bans!

The staff at Newburyport Towing would like to reminder drivers that most local cities and towns have parking regulations that limit parking in certain areas, Winter Parking Bans and/or Snow Emergency Parking Bans in effect. We have compiled a list of information. This list is for reference only. If you have questions, please contact the appropriate city or town government.

Also keep in mind, in the event local governments deem a public safety emergency such as a hurricane alert, an early or late season snow storm occurring outside the any below stated dates, your vehicle could still be subject to ticketing and towing if parked on city or town streets.
