There are many regulations that apply to parking on public roadways. In order to enjoy a well ploughed street in the winter and one that is properly maintained at all times, it is important that no vehicles or other obstacles stand in the way of snow ploughs and street sweepers.
During scheduled collection days, garbage and recycling bins must be kept on your property and not on public roads. The same applies to sports equipment such as basketball nets, which must remain on the property at all times.
In Kirkland, By-Law No. 2013-55 sets out the rules applicable to traffic and parking in the municipality.
There are provisions in Chapter II of this by-law that are applicable in addition to the traffic rules contained in the Highway Safety Code, such as the new sector-specific signage in effect in all residential sectors as shown on the plan annexed to the By-Law as Appendix A.
Though regulated, parking is permitted on most residential roads, so long as the following signage and conditions are respected. When specific circumstances such as driveway repairs or accommodating short-term visitor parking require temporary infringement of the conditions imposed in the by-law, a temporary parking permit request can be made online via the Requests on Line system.
Chapter III of by-law No. 2013-55 specifies the circumstances and areas where vehicles are prohibited from parking on public roads. The following are the major applicable provisions:
On a public street, it is prohibited to park a road vehicle:
Elsewhere, it is prohibited to park a road vehicle:
Regulations regarding the use of streets are specified in Chapter IV as well as other articles of by-law No. 2013-55, By-law 2013-54 on Nuisances and By-law 2013-57 on Snow Removal.
Among others, it is prohibited to:
Idling a road vehicle is basically letting the engine run when it is parked or not in use. This practice is not only harmful to the health, but also to the environment and the vehicle itself.
Regulations that apply to idling can be found in Chapter V of by-law No. 2013-55 on Traffic and Parking.
The Town Clerk and Legal Affairs Department can help you understand municipal regulatory requirements or redirect you to the proper department. The department can be reached during regular business hours at Town Hall or by calling 514 694-4100.
