Beginning this Sunday, the City of Binghamton's winter alternate side parking rules take effect starting at 5 p.m.

These rules run from Sunday, December 1st through March 15th. During snow events, residents are strongly encouraged to move vehicles off the street and into driveways or parking lots. This aids in snow removal efforts.

Below is a list of guidelines that are part of the alternate side parking policy:

  • On even calendar days, park on the even side of the street until 5 p.m.
  • On odd calendar days, park on the odd side of the street until 5 p.m.
  • The change in parking occurs each day at 5 p.m. For example, since Dec. 2 is an even day, vehicles must be moved to the odd side of the street at 5 p.m. Residents should think, “Park for tomorrow.
  • Rules are in effect 24 hours per day.
  • Alternate side parking rules apply to all City streets, including those with parking on only one side, except for those areas explicitly listed as exempt below. Streets with no parking on both sides of the street remain no parking zones on both sides of the street. In these cases, alternate side parking does not apply.
