Roseville has no overnight parking ban. What it has instead is a 48-hour clock that starts the moment two inches have fallen — and, in four specific neighborhoods, a color-coded experiment that works nothing like the rest of the city.
City Ordinance 602.09: no vehicle may park on any street for a period of 48 hours commencing immediately after any 2 inches or more of continuous snowfall, or until snow removal has been completed. Vehicles could be ticketed and towed.
Read that structure carefully, because it is unlike its neighbors. There is no nightly window to remember. The clock starts when the snow stops being a flurry, and it runs for two full days regardless of what time that is.
Plowing is triggered by the same 2 inches or more of continuous snowfall, and an average 4-inch event takes about 8 hours to plow and treat.
A Winter Parking Pilot Project runs an alternating system in four named areas only: Pascal Street / Centennial Drive / Terrace Drive; Fry Street / Eldridge Avenue; the Highway 36 Service Drive; and Grandview & Woodbridge.
There, parking is allowed on the blue side for the first 24 hours of a snow event; once the blue side is plowed, vehicles must move to the green side. Residents who do not comply are still at risk of a ticket. Everywhere else in Roseville, the citywide 48-hour rule applies.
If you live in one of those four areas, confirm the pilot is still running before relying on it — its current status and season are not published.
On snow in the street Roseville cites Minn. Stat. 160.27 Subd. 5, with violation punishable as a misdemeanor under 160.2715. Two hotlines: streets 651-792-7004, pathways 651-792-7006. Garbage cans belong in the driveway, not the street or boulevard.
