Winter Parking Rules Start in Many Broome Municipalities

Winter parking rules go into effect December 1 in several municipalities around the region.

That means alternate side of the street parking in Johnson City and Binghamton.

December 2 is an even-numbered day, so motorists in the Village and City should park on the even-numbered side of the street at 5 p.m. December 1.  They will have to move their vehicles to the odd-numbered side of the street at 5 p.m. December 2.

In the City of Binghamton, some streets are exempt from alternate parking rules while there is no parking on either side of the street on other marked streets. Rules do not apply to kiosk parking.

 In Endicott there is no parking or stopping on any Village Street or in municipal parking lots between 1 and 6 a.m. unless otherwise posted.  There are also locations where there is no parking between nine in the morning and noon during a snow emergency.

The Town of Vestal bans parking on town and county streets and highways between 2 and 6 a.m.

The rules continue through the end of March.

Residents should check with their own municipalities for specific seasonal parking regulations.

The parking restrictions are in place during the winter to allow snow plows and emergency vehicles better access through already narrow streets.
