The Knoxville Snow Ordinance is in effect. Parking on the street is prohibited during snow emergencies.

The snow ordinance reads – No person shall park, abandon or leave unattended any vehicle on any public street, street parking or alley during any snow emergency proclaimed by the police chief unless the snow has been removed or plowed from said street, street parking or alley and the snow has ceased to fall.

A snow emergency parking ban shall continue from its proclamation through the duration of the snow or ice storm and the twenty four (24) hour period after cessation of such storm except as above provided upon streets which have been fully opened, curb to curb. A winter storm is expected to begin tonight.
