Parking bans allow fast, safe and efficient snow removal from local roads and streets.
Our urban centres are divided into parking ban zones. To plan for bans, you need to Know Your Zone (see below).
When a parking ban is needed, signs will be placed on affected streets. You can also sign up for instant notifications, and then we will call, text or email you to let you know a parking ban is coming up.
Zone 1 - Hamlet of Lac La Biche: Business, Downtown and Collector Roads
Properties in Zone 1 will receive 24 hours' notice of upcoming parking bans. Bans may last 1-2 days, and will be lifted once the snow has been removed and our equipment has left the area.
Due to the mixture of commercial and residential areas in Zone 1, some streets will be cleared during the daytime while others will be cleared at night. Signs on affected streets will indicate the time(s) when snow removal is expected to take place.
See map of Zone 1 - Daytime Areas.

Zone 2 - Hamlet of Lac La Biche: Residential North
Zone 2 includes all streets within the mapped boundaries of Zone 2 that are not considered part of Zone 1.
Properties in Zone 2 will receive 48 hours' notice of upcoming parking bans. Bans may last 1-4 days.
Zone 3 - Hamlet of Lac La Biche: Residential South/East
Zone 3 includes all streets within the mapped boundaries of Zone 3 that are not considered part of Zone 1.
Properties in Zone 3 will receive 48 hours' notice of upcoming parking bans. Bans may last 1-4 days.
Zone 4 - Hamlet of Plamondon
Properties in Zone 4 will receive at least 24 hours' notice of upcoming parking bans. Bans may last 1-4 days.
There are penalties for not complying with parking bans.
Peace Officers will try to contact the owners of vehicles that are left on the streets during parking bans, but if this is not possible, the vehicles may be towed and the owners fined. In accordance with Bylaw 23-012, the fine for a first offence is $200. The fine for a second offence is $400.
All parking bans end once the snow has been removed and our equipment has left the area.
