Plan where you'll park
Check the snow-route declaration
Look for blue signs with a white snowflake. The city gives the affected dates; a plow passing does not end the parking restriction early.

Regina snow plow and parking guide.
In Regina, check snow-route parking separately from residential plowing. A parking declaration can affect a signed route while your neighbourhood is still waiting for its own clearing schedule. The city's map and road categories help explain the difference.

What happens before your street is finished
Regina follows a local sequence. Knowing the phase explains why one road can be clear while another is still waiting.
- 1While snow falls
Keep major routes usable
Regina's Storm Mode concentrates on Categories 1 and 2 and exposed perimeter roads. Crews can make repeated passes.
- 2After the event
Work through the road categories
After a qualifying 5 cm event, normal targets are 24 hours for Category 1, 36 for Category 2, 48 for Category 3, and 60 for gravel roads.
- 3Residential plow
Follow the announced neighbourhood schedule
Most remaining residential streets need 15 cm in a single event before plowing is scheduled, weather and time permitting. Snow can remain stored in the parking lane.
Before leaving the car
Regina parking rules that matter
- A declared snow route means no parking on the affected signed route for 24 hours, not a blanket ban on every Regina street.
- The city's example runs from 6 a.m. to 6 a.m. the following day, announced by 3 p.m. the day before. Check the actual notice for your dates.
- Keep cars off residential streets when neighbourhood plowing is scheduled where possible, and follow any additional posted restrictions.
Resident checklist
What to do during the storm
- 1
Check whether your block is a signed snow route.
- 2
Read the current declaration before leaving the car.
- 3
Check your road category or residential schedule.
- 4
Measure a problem ridge only if safe, and note where it blocks access.
Service boundaries
Who clears what in Regina
The city plow department is not responsible for every road, sidewalk, driveway, alley, or parking area.
Regina winter crews
Plow city road categories and carry out residential work when scheduled.
Households and businesses
Arrange parking and clear private property. A snow ridge in the parking lane may remain after a residential plow.
City service requests
The winter form separates snow ridges, slippery locations, and plow damage so a report reaches the appropriate service.
If the street looks missed
Report a hazardous ridge or missed work
Check the current schedule before reporting routine missed clearing. For a hazardous ridge, explain whether it blocks a driveway, sightline, or safe travel.
- 1Enter the approximate address in the winter maintenance form.
- 2Select the concern and describe its location and size.
- 3Add a photo if safe and available, then retain your request details.
Local questions answered
Regina snow plow FAQ
Short answers for the questions residents usually have during an active storm.
Can I park as soon as the plow passes?
Not if the snow-route restriction is still in effect. Follow the announced end time and check for any further declaration.
Why did the city leave snow beside my street?
Residential plowing moves snow out of the travel lane but does not normally haul away every parking-lane ridge. Use the winter request form if a ridge creates a hazard.
What if the progress map is unavailable?
Use the residential plow page and snow-route notices separately. The city cautions that it is still improving its map updates; an absent or stale display is not proof that a street has been missed.
