Car being towed on High Bluff Drive.ON-STREET PARKING
It is dangerous and difficult to plow streets clogged with parked vehicles. Some streets,
especially cul-de-sacs may not be plowed, if plows can not safely drive down them. The
most helpful thing residents can do to facilitate snow removal is to get their cars off the
street, and encourage others to do the same.
To facilitate snow removal, City ordinance prohibits on-street parking whenever there is
snow or ice on the road. Any vehicles parked on a West Valley City street after an
accumulation of ice or snow of one inch or more will be subject to ticketing and towing.
(WVC Code 24-4-111)
22-2-115. TIME LIMITATIONS.
No vehicle shall be parked on any street:
(1) While there is an accumulation of snow or ice of one inch or more on the roadway;
(2) For a period of longer than 72 consecutive hours; or
(3) For any period longer than allowed by appropriate signs, markings, or parking meters giving notice of such parking time limitation.
22-2-119. AUTHORITY TO MOVE OR REMOVE ILLEGALLY-PARKED VEHICLES.
(1) Whenever a peace officer determines that a vehicle parked in violation of this Chapter must be moved to avoid public inconvenience, ensure public safety, or because it appears to be abandoned, the officer is authorized to move the vehicle, cause it to be removed, or to order the owner or operator of the vehicle to move or remove it.
(2) A peace officer who causes a vehicle to be removed under this Section shall have the vehicle removed by a tow truck service that meets the standards established by Title 72, Chapter 9, Utah Code Annotated 1953, as amended, and that is authorized by the Police Department to perform towing services for the City.
(3) The City shall not be liable for any lost, damaged, or stolen items or damage to any vehicle moved or removed pursuant to this Section.
(4) The registered owner of a vehicle removed under this Section is strictly liable for all costs of removal.
