Getting ready for winter

  • Your vehicle must be equipped with snow tires from December 15 to March 15.
    For more information, visit the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec Web site.
  • Contact your borough for specific regulations about snow shovelling.
  • If your stairs or front walkway are still slippery after you shovel, spread abrasives or salt on them to keep the area safe.
  • During snow-loading operations, 5,700 free overnight parking spaces are available.

During a snowstorm, snow clearing teams, pedestrians and drivers share responsibility for making sure that snow clearing takes place as quickly and as safely as possible. Everyone’s cooperation is important!

  • Be careful when travelling.
  • Avoid or postpone travel whenever possible, especially when conditions are dangerous (freezing rain, rain, ice)
  • Use public transportation and leave earlier whenever possible.
  • Give city employees time to make streets and sidewalks safe.
  • Adapt your driving to winter conditions:
    • Use extra caution.
    • Obey all safety regulations.
    • Slow down.
    • Keep your distance.
  • Watch for and obey signs.
  • Park your vehicle properly (not on an angle or at street corners).
