Montreal relaxes parking rules after heavy snowfall but thousands still receive tickets

Montreal has relaxed some parking rules due to heavy snowfall, allowing more tolerance for certain violations. However, thousands of tickets have still been issued, with 6,659 tickets given out in ten days, and 86.4% resulting in towing. The city's parking enforcement agency is focusing on keeping roads clear for snow removal. Angled parking remains a ticketable offense, as it can obstruct emergency vehicles and snowplows. Residents are reminded to follow parking rules to avoid fines and ensure safe passage for snow-clearing operations. Free overnight parking is available, but vehicles must be moved by 7 a.m.
