Logan winter parking ban begins Nov. 15 and runs through March 15

LOGAN - Vehicles may not be parked on Logan streets or in city-owned parking lots from midnight to 6 a.m. beginning Nov. 15 and ending March 15 of each year, according to Logan Municipal Code 10.52.170 (link) and the city's parking enforcement page (link).

The ordinance applies on any day during that period and does not depend on whether it is snowing. A violation carries a $40 civil penalty, reduced by $20 if it is paid within 10 normal working days, according to Municipal Code 10.52.290 (link).

A regular residential parking permit does not exempt a driver. Municipal Code 10.52.215 (link) says that permit does not excuse drivers from general parking regulations in the traffic code. Owners of certain pre-1968 nonconforming residential properties that cannot fit legal parking on site may buy a separate winter permit, described in The Cache Citizen's Nov. 12 report (link).

The overnight ordinance also prohibits leaving a vehicle where it would obstruct a public works project. A vehicle that impedes traffic may be impounded without prior notice, and a vehicle parked in violation of an ordinance may be impounded after 48 hours' notice, according to Municipal Code 10.52.040 (link).

Why this matters

The ban begins Nov. 15. A car left on a Logan street or in a city-owned lot between midnight and 6 a.m. can bring a $40 ticket.
