🚨 WINTER PARKING BAN – EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 1, 2026 ❄️

The Durham Police Department would like to remind residents and visitors that the Town of Durham's annual Winter Parking Ban will take effect on Sunday, November 1, 2026, and remain in effect through April 1, 2027.

During this period, parking is prohibited on all public streets, roadways, and Town of Durham parking lots between 1:00 AM and 6:00 AM, regardless of weather conditions.

The winter parking ban helps ensure that Durham Public Works can safely and efficiently conduct snow removal and winter roadway maintenance operations.

Vehicles parked in violation of the ordinance may be subject to fines and towing at the owner's expense.

We appreciate everyone's cooperation in keeping Durham's roadways safe and accessible throughout the winter season.

With Halloween falling on a Saturday this year, Durham expects to see increased activity throughout the Town. The Durham Police Department reminds everyone to make safe and responsible decisions, especially with children out trick-or-treating.

If you plan to consume alcohol or other substances that may impair your ability to drive, please plan ahead and arrange for a designated driver, taxi, or rideshare. Never drive impaired.

Impaired driving puts lives at risk, and our officers will continue to prioritize enforcement efforts to prevent crashes, injuries, and fatalities.

If you are concerned that you are too impaired to drive home safely, call the Durham Police Department at 603-868-2324. Our officers are available to help you identify a safe transportation option and assist you in getting home safely.

Together, we can keep Durham’s roadways safe for everyone this Halloween.
