Madison Declares a Snow Emergency; Winter Parking Rules are in Effect Citywide Tonight

Hello neighbors,

The City of Madison has declared a snow emergency to help the ongoing effort to clear snow from the roads.

Street Parking Tonight During the Snow Emergency

Alternate side parking rules are in effect for the entire City of Madison, including the Snow Emergency Zone.

Alternate side parking is only enforced from 1:00am to 7:00am.

• Tonight (2/16/25 into the morning of 2/17/25), park on the side of the street with odd house numbers so your car is on the correct side of the street when alternate side parking is enforced.
• Tomorrow night (2/17/25 into the morning of 2/18/25), park on the side of the street with even house numbers so your car is on the correct side of the street when alternate side parking is enforced.
• Make sure you also follow all parking rules posted on street signs.

There is a $60 fine if you do not follow winter parking rules. If your car is towed, there is also a $115 towing fee.

Call the winter parking hotline at 608-261-9111 to hear recorded information about alternate side parking.

Free Overnight parking in City Garages

You can park for free at City garages with cashiers from 9pm – 7am during a snow emergency.

If you enter before 9pm or leave after 7am, you will need to pay parking fees during the extra time.

• Do not park on the top level. We need to plow this area.
• Do not park in metered areas. Free parking is only available in the cashiered areas.

Please take these rules seriously to help keep our streets clear and safe for everyone. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out or check the City of Madison’s website for updates.
