Let me guess... keep your car off the streets for the overnight snow plows or else youre going to find your car towed or summarily shoved off the road.

I have a friend who owns house in Brea (Orange County, CA) and there, they have a regulation that you can't park on the street between 2 and 6 a.m. Why? For aesthetic reasons... because it's obvious tourists who head to Brea between 2 and 6 a.m. hoping to shop at the Brea Mall, only to find it closes at 9 p.m., are going to just roam the streets of the town and see what it has to offer when most of the residents are asleep.
It's not like it would be for snowplows. I'm not sure if it's even ever snowed in the history of that town. My friend was telling me about how one night it got cold enough for there to be a thin layer of ice on people's cars, and how people just freaked out about it. We found it funny since scraping ice off the windows in the morning is a fact of life where we're from (generally we don't get enough ice that we can't open the car door... not enough humidity means not enough ice to get that thick of a sheet on a car that was dry the night before).

hahaha everyone made comments about how winter in Alberta was gonna be brutal..y'all have snow and it's 12C here today and should be warm-ish all weekend! mwahahaha!
Oh, and Inky...does it actually say "for aesthetic reasons" in the by-law? You can't park on the street in Brampton overnight unless you call and notify the city...but that's because they don't want people buying more cars than their driveway can handle and parking on the road all the time...if you have company or if you're having your driveway worked on or whatever it's free to get temp. permits for overnight street parking.

Just saying, don't assume it's just for "aesthetic" purposes.
