Winter weather is marked by falling snow and the many trucks and plows needed to clear it. As the flurries fall, we’re here to guide you through the winter route parking and the residential parking bans that keep roads clear.
Remember, you remain responsible for how a FLO car is parked up to 24 hours after your booking ends (or until the next member accesses the car, whichever comes first). For this reason, avoiding time-limited rush hour zones and roads marked as winter routes is crucial when ending your FLO booking. Click here for a quick, all-season guide to parking with FLO.
Residential parking bans add a layer of complexity to parking FLO cars in winter. The City of Winnipeg announces these bans to clear snow. The parking restrictions may not be marked with street signage. To park with confidence, we recommend downloading the Know Your Zone App from the City of Winnipeg.
Use the app to search an address for an upcoming ban. You can also enter your favourite addresses and receive alerts announcing residential parking bans.
Bans are announced through the Know Your Zone App. To park with confidence, be sure to check Know Your Zone before parking and ending any FLO booking. If there’s an upcoming or active parking ban in the next 24 hours, you must move the vehicle to a safe, on-street location with no parking ban. If a FLO car is parked on a street with a current or upcoming ban, you may be responsible for the associated ticket or tow.
Remember, you should never end your trip with a FLO car on a street with winter route signs. You can always check our FLO parking guide to make sure you’re in an area that is safe to park!
