Winter parking and snow rules in Lowell

Standing rule. We did not find a fixed overnight winter parking ban for Lowell on its own pages; the town restricts parking when a snow emergency is declared.

Snow emergencies. City declares a snow emergency ban for major storms. All vehicles must be off the street within 6 hours of the declaration. Violators can be ticketed and towed. Keep roads clear after it lifts. Snow Emergency Parking ↗

Alerts. The ban notice lists open garages. The city's Notify Me page offers email or text lists; it does not say snow bans go to a specific list, so call Parking at 978-674-4014. Notify Me signup ↗

Public works: Department of Public Works, Streets Division, 978-674-1807. Rules read November 8, 2026; confirm with the town before relying on them.
