PLACER COUNTY, Calif. — Winter parking restrictions start in east Placer County in November.
Parking along roadway shoulders east of Emigrant Gap such as North Lake Tahoe, Serene Lakes, Olympic Valley and Alpine Meadows will be prohibited starting Nov. 1. The restrictions will last until May 1, 2024.
The parking restrictions are in effect due to snow plow operations.
The county said the restrictions are in effect even during mild weather as snow removal could still be happening. Drivers should only park in public parking lots. Vehicles could be towed, ticketed or fined.
The Placer County Board of Supervisors recently approved increased parking fines that go into effect Nov. 30. Fines for violating snow parking restrictions will increase from $98.50 to $150 for the first offense, from $198.50 to $250 for a second offense, and from $298.50 to $450 for a third and any later violations.
