By-law Enforcement

Parking tickets are issued for a variety of reasons, expired meters, too far from a curb, too close to an intersection, sidewalk, fire hydrant, etc. Tickets are issued either by random by-law patrol or in response to a complaint. Once an officer has begun writing a ticket, it cannot be canceled.

A violation notice is a written notice of an infraction involving you or your property. There is a time frame indicated on your notice to have the infraction resolved. If you have further concerns, please contact a By-Law Officer for clarification.

No! You can not stop in any place designated for buses, school buses, fire lanes, or No Stopping areas. This includes even quickly dropping off or picking up passengers/parcels.

Unregistered vehicles are considered derelict, and not permitted under the by-law. All unregistered vehicles parking on private property must obtain a derelict vehicle permit from City Hall. See the NUISANCE BY-LAW NO. 5806/81/90 Page 7 for more information regarding derelict permits. 

Please phone the Brandon Police Service 204-729-2345 with your information and concerns.

These zones are monitored during the school year to ensure the safety of students, and the general public. Drivers are encouraged to be familiar with parking offences that may occur in a school zone and how to park safely.

Some of these offences are:

• Bus Loading Zones: Only buses can stop or park in this zone
• No Stopping Zones: No vehicle is allowed to stop in these zones.
• No Parking Zone: You are allowed to stand the vehicle temporarily only while actually engaged in loading or unloading. These are not waiting areas.
• Obstructing Traffic: Too often parents stop in the middle of the street to drop off the child; this is an obstruction and is UNSAFE.

Ensure that all loads regardless of the contents are either tarped or secured to avoid debris from falling from the vehicle.

Skateboarding is not permitted on City streets, public places, or other posted areas or properties that prohibit skateboarding. Those found in violation can be charged and/or have their skateboard seized by police.
