Details

Under Municipal Code 9.30.230, the Municipal Traffic Engineer is authorized to order a change of date for the prohibition of studded tires/enhanced traction devices in response to snow-cover conditions.

9.30.230 - Parking vehicle with studded tires out of season.

A motor vehicle shall not be parked, stopped or left standing on a street, highway, vehicular way or area, or within any area of the municipality used for public parking from May 1 through September 30, inclusive, if equipped with any studded tire or any protuberance of any material other than rubber projecting beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire, except by order of the municipal traffic engineer in response to anticipated snow-cover conditions, as provided in section 9.44.380, or emergency order of the state, or if the vehicle has a special individual traction permit from the state.

Based upon weather conditions that began the morning of 21 September 2021 and upcoming anticipated snow-cover, I am issuing this order to change the 2021 season's end date for the prohibition of studded tires and protuberances of any material other than rubber projecting beyond the tread of the traction surface of the tire to 22 September 2021 (inclusive). This is 8 days in advance of the date identified in Municipal Code and means studded tires would no longer be prohibited starting 23 September 2021.
