If you park your vehicle on the street in Saint John, you need to pay attention to where you leave it tonight. The City of Saint John confirms that the alternate side parking changeover is now officially in effect.

While the standard changeover applies to most of the city, ongoing construction projects require temporary suspensions and unique rules for several specific areas. You must follow these updated guidelines to avoid tickets or having your vehicle towed.

Construction Zones and Parking Exceptions

City officials have outlined four specific streets where standard alternate side parking rules do not apply due to construction:

• Cliff Street: On street parking is only permitted on the even numbered side of the street.
• Charlotte Street: Between St. James Street and Ross Street, you can only park on the odd numbered side of the street.
• St. James Street: Between Charlotte Street and Sydney Street, parking is restricted to the odd numbered side.
• Sydney Street: The city strictly prohibits parking on either side of the street between St. James Street and Brittain Street.

Make sure you check the specific signs in your neighbourhood, especially if you live near the South Central Peninsula or active construction zones. For full details on standard restrictions, you can review the alternate side restrictions guide provided by the city.
