(WXYZ) — We've compiled a list of snow emergencies in the area.
During a snow emergency, residents are not allowed to park on city streets so plows and salt trucks can clear snow and de-ice main streets. Cars could get a ticket or towed if parked on city streets during the snow emergency.

“At 6 a.m., we will have a siren to go off that will inform residents to move their cars,” Dearborn Mayor Abdullah H. Hammoud said of the snow emergency issued in that city. “Just to allow ease for our plows to come and plow more than just the middle lane, but the curbs."
In the city of Detroit, cars can't be parked in a snow emergency route.
“If there are red and white signs where you are parking, move your car,” Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan said of the 75 routes in the city marked with red and white signs. “Our contractors are required now to create a 16-foot path through every neighborhood. That is not going to be possible if we have cars on both sides of the street.”
The rule does not apply to residential streets but is highly recommended.
"Loan your neighbor room in the garage or in the driveway. Help them move it to a lot near by,” Duggan said. "Four days of neighborhood plowing if that’s what it takes so Monday morning, everyone can get back to their business.”
