Where can overnight limits apply?
NBMC §12.44.160 allows Council resolutions to prohibit parking on designated streets after 6 PM and before 6 AM. Exact days and hours depend on the resolution and posted signs.
How does the 72-hour rule work?
Chapter 12.40 prohibits 72 or more consecutive hours. A vehicle is not considered moved unless relocated at least 100 feet or its odometer shows a change.
When is street sweeping enforceable?
NBMC §12.44.150 requires a Council resolution and posted signs. The GIS includes 3,331 street segments, but time, posting, and identity fields are inconsistent; verify the sign and current City notice.
