A snow emergency will take effect for Iowa City on Wednesday morning and extend through Friday, city officials said today

Certain parking regulations apply during a snow emergency.

During a snow emergency, on streets that normally have odd-even parking, the usual evening and Sunday exemptions no longer apply. On streets that allow parking on one side of the street only, parking is allowed on even dates if that side is the even side, odd dates if that side is the odd side. On streets that allow parking on both sides, odd-even parking takes effect.

Vehicles in violation of the parking restrictions are subject to a $50 ticket and could be towed.
