Traffic and Parking Ordinance

Motor Vehicle Traffic and Parking Ordinance (effective since July 9, 2012)

Winter Parking Ban (Motor Vehicle Traffic and Parking Ordinance, Section 182-3)
No motor vehicle shall be parked on any public highway under the jurisdiction of the Town of Mansfield, or in any area designated as a municipal parking area, between the hours of midnight and 6:00 a.m., from November 1 through April 15; or at all times when there is any accumulation of snow or ice on said highways or parking areas.

This includes the on-street parking in Storrs Center including Storrs Road, Dog Lane, Royce Circle and Wilbur Cross Way. On-street parking during winter storms must not impede traffic or snow removal. Cars that are found to violate the parking ban or impede plowing operations will be towed.

The Town of Mansfield Department of Public Works requests that bicycle owners refrain from leaving bicycles on sidewalks or the Town Square during snow storms or overnight. The cooperation of motorists and cyclists will aid the Public Works staff in their efforts to maintain clear roadways and sidewalks through the winter.
