What Is a Snow Emergency in Milwaukee?

A Snow Emergency is declared by the City of Milwaukee when heavy snowfall requires full-scale plowing operations and special parking regulations. During a declared snow emergency, certain streets are designated for snow removal, and parking restrictions are strictly enforced. Vehicles parked illegally during these times may be ticketed or towed by the City.

It is important to stay informed to prevent fines and ensure safe travel for residents, employees, and customers throughout the city.
