Cities’ Overnight Parking Bans Taking Effect

Northwest Iowa — The nice weather forecast may have lulled some of us into a sense that winter is far off, but rest assured, winter and the snow and ice it brings are not far away. That means you might have to make other arrangements for parking your vehicle. Several cities in the KIWA listening area have ordinances regarding overnight parking, especially during the snow removal season, and the amount of the fine varies widely. So if you routinely or occasionally park a car on the street overnight or have overnight guests, you’ll have to come up with a different place to park in most cases.
