What you can do
You can learn how to park legally, apply for a residential parking permit, and understand the rules for trucks and heavy vehicles on Wrenford streets. This page also explains how to pay a ticket or request a court date if you receive a Provincial Offences Notice.
How to follow the rules
The Traffic and Parking By-law 2014-075 works with the provincial Highway Traffic Act to keep our streets safe. You must obey all posted signs, speed limits, and traffic signals. The by-law covers the following areas:
- Parking: Follow time limits and seasonal bans. During the winter parking ban (December 1 to March 31, 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.), do not park on main roads so snowplows can clear the streets.
- Truck routes: Heavy and oversize trucks must stay on designated truck routes marked on the city map. These routes are open twenty-four hours a day.
- Idling limits: Commercial vehicles may not idle for more than three minutes. Personal vehicles have a two-minute limit.
- Right-of-way: Always yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and follow the rules for bicyclists in dedicated lanes.
Fees and fines
If you break a traffic rule, By-law Enforcement officers or the Wrenford Police Service may issue a ticket. You can pay your fine or request a court date at the Provincial Offences Court. Early payment discounts apply if you pay within ten days.
