Winter parking restrictions are in place now through March 1. Between 12 a.m. and 6 a.m., vehicles are not allowed to park on city streets. Kaysville City asks that residents please make sure their vehicles are off the roadways to allow plows to safely clear the roads (they are certain you don’t want to receive a Christmas card from the Kaysville Police Department this year). Citations will be issued whether it snows or not. 

The Kaysville City Public Works team is dedicated to keeping roads safe throughout the winter season. They work to remove ice from roads as quickly and safely as possible to ensure smooth traffic flow across the city, with a strong focus on maintaining access for emergency services. Snow removal prioritizes primary roads with the highest regular and emergency traffic, and the number of plows and type of materials used are adjusted based on weather conditions.

Snow removal is a challenging task, requiring Public Works employees to work long hours salting and plowing streets – often during the worst weather conditions, early mornings, and late nights. 

Kaysville City Ordinance prohibits obstructing travel on public sidewalks. Property owners are responsible for removing snow from all sidewalks adjoining their property. Clearing snow and ice from sidewalks is essential for resident safety. It is also illegal to shovel or blow snow onto the street. City Ordinance prohibits pushing, blowing, or depositing snow, leaves, or other debris onto the street, as this can create hazards by freezing and reducing traction, especially after streets have been plowed. This affects not only city crews but also you and your neighbors.

Residents often ask if plow drivers can avoid pushing snow into driveways. While crews do their best to minimize snow on driveways and sidewalks, it is challenging to prevent this entirely as plows move down the street. When plows are not able to plow up to the edge of the curb (prevented by parked vehicles or other obstructions in roadway), this can interrupt both the mail carrier and garbage disposal process. 

Finally, if there is a fire hydrant near your home, please keep the area around it clear of snow. Maintain a perimeter of about 3 feet to allow firefighters easy access and ensure there is a clear path from the hydrant to the street.
