Temporary "No Parking Either Side" Restrictions

Due to the amount of snow accumulation on some city streets the Salem Police have temporarily ordered certain streets in the city to be "No Parking Either Side" until further notice. Vehicles parked on these streets will be subject to ticketing and towing. Residents should seek alternate on-street parking elsewhere on the even side of other roads in your neighborhood, on entrance corridors or at an alternative off-street parking lots such as Universal Steel, Church Street 6pm-7am, Salem Willows lot, Blaney Street wharf lot, and playground lots.

Temporary "No Parking on Odd Side" Restriction

In addition to the above parking restrictions the Salem Police have also ordered a "No Parking on Odd Side" restriction on residential streets. Vehicles should only park on the even side of the street. This order will be specifically enforced when vehicles limit the width of the roadway to less than 12 feet.

Should parking be normally restricted on the even side of a street residents may park on the odd side.

If vehicles parked on on the even side of the street limit the width of the roadway to less than 12 feet, no vehicles should park on the street
