Parking enforcement in Selkirk is a daily activity, ensuring regulations are consistently upheld. The city has established multiple parking rules, including restrictions on time-limited parking, provisions for 24-hour parking, and penalties for parking violations. These measures are in place to maintain order and accessibility within the city’s parking infrastructure.
Timed Parking Restrictions
The City of Selkirk Traffic By-Law 4868/5123 provides the regulation of traffics within the City of Selkirk, including but not limited to restrictions related to timed parking.
24 Hour Parking
Vehicles may park on the streets for up to 24 hours unless signs state otherwise. To comply with this by-law section, a vehicle must move through the nearest intersection after each 24-hour period.
A 24-hour parking restriction also applies to any City owned parking lots unless otherwise posted.
1HR, 2HR, and 3HR Parking
In various areas throughout the city, streets limit parking to 1, 2, or 3 hours. Signage adjacent to the street indicates these parking restrictions.
Exceptions:
Exceptions include Section 44 i) which states:
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle of the type known as a trailer, semi-trailer or semi-trailer truck, a bus, a motor home, a truck or a van with a design capacity of more than one tonne, on a street for a period of tie longer than one hour, except when actually loading or unloading.
Handi-capped Parking Permits
A vehicle displaying a Handicapped Parking Permit issued by the Manitoba government is entitled to park or stand for twice the time allowed by the specific parking restriction.
Penalties
If a vehicle remains parked beyond the allowed time, the city will impose fines according to Administrative Penalties By-law 5383 (or its successor). Additionally, authorities may tow the vehicle to a garage compound. The vehicle owner must pay any fees or charges for the towing service, as the Garage Keepers Act enforces this responsibility.
Parking tickets in default are subject to any collection related policy and procedures enforced by the City based on appropriate provincial legislation.
