The city has extended the snow emergency until 8 a.m. on Tuesday.

Under the Snow Emergency Ordinance, parking in Downtown Austin and business areas is not allowed from 1-8 a.m. to allow snow plows to clear the streets.

Those streets not under the ordinance are subject to the even/odd parking rule. Vehicles parked on the street must be parked on the side with even addresses starting at 8 a.m. on even dates and on the side with odd addresses starting at 8 a.m. on odd dates.

Cars found in violation can be ticketed and towed by police at the owner’s expense.
