In Rochester, winter parking bans are declared as needed rather than on fixed nights, and between November 1 and May 1 no vehicle may park on any public street or municipal lot during a declared snow emergency; the city must give at least six hours notice. During a snow emergency, residents must use designated downtown lots with a free sticker, and exemptions are handled by the Police Department.
