Hey there, time traveller!

The city’s annual winter route parking ban will begin at 2 a.m. on Dec. 6.
The ban, which is not dependent on snowfall or whether roads have already been plowed, prohibits overnight parking on designated streets from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m.
The City of Winnipeg reminded drivers to look for “winter route” and “snow route” signs before parking. Owners of vehicles parked in violation of the ban can receive a $100 ticket ($75 if paid early), and the vehicle might be towed.
RUTH BONNEVILLE / FREE PRESS FILES A snowplow clears back lanes in the area around Churchill Drive in March 2018.
The ban is expected to remain in place until spring, except when a residential parking ban has been declared. The winter route parking ban will be paused during residential plowing to provide more parking options.
The city encouraged drivers to use a new interactive map to stay up to date on “all snow information,” such as parking bans and road-clearing status. The map is available on the city’s website.
Highway snowplows trackable
The provincial government introduced a new program Friday that tracks the locations of snowplows on Manitoba highways and provides real-time updates.
Track My Plow is available online at manitoba511.ca and as a smartphone app. It allows users to track active snowplows and their path of travel over the previous two hours.
When combined with descriptions of road conditions and closures, it will allow drivers to make informed decisions before travelling, the province said in a news release.
