Parking in Griffintown: the rules of Le Sud-Ouest

Guide · Checked against official pages on November 11, 2026

Griffintown is a neighbourhood of the borough of Le Sud-Ouest, so the borough's parking rules apply on its streets. Here is what the City, the borough and the Agence de mobilité durable say, rule by rule.

City of Montréal only, for now. More cities to come.

The 72-hour limit

In Le Sud-Ouest, an automobile may stay parked on the street for up to 72 hours. For buses and minibuses, trucks, travel trailers, commercial vehicles, recreational vehicles, and tool and auto repair vehicles, the limit is 24 hours. After that, the City says you must move the vehicle. The signs on the street still apply.

Resident sticker zones

To get a residents-only sticker, you must be the primary driver of the vehicle and your home must be in a zone where parking is reserved for sticker holders.

• The limit is 1 sticker per person and per vehicle, and several people at the same address may each have one for their vehicle.
• The price depends on when you buy it, the colour of the licence plate (green for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, blue for the others) and the vehicle's weight.
• People 65 or over get 50 per cent off with proof of age. People with a low income pay the lowest rate, for the first sticker only.
• Vehicles over 3 tonnes (net weight) and commercial vehicles with a plate starting with X are not eligible.

The monthly sticker for zone 50, Griffintown

Le Sud-Ouest sells a monthly sticker for two zones: zone 50 (Griffintown) and zone 113 (Pointe-Saint-Charles).

• It costs $120, taxes included.
• It is valid until the end of the month you bought it for, in the zone you chose. You can buy it several months ahead.
• It cannot be refunded or transferred.
• Vehicles over 3 tonnes (net weight), farm vehicles, commercial vehicles with a plate starting with X and service vehicles are not eligible.

Paid parking

Paid parking generally applies on arterial roads and commercial streets, and the City sets the paid periods and the maximum time allowed. Since February 1, 2026, the Agence de mobilité durable lists two hourly rates for Le Sud-Ouest: $2.50, and $4.25 in the borough's East sector. To know which one applies where you park, the Agence asks you to check the rate shown on the parking sign or the pay station. You can pay remotely with the Mobicité app.

The borough says some of its paid spaces are inside resident sticker zones, and vehicles with a sticker for the matching sector can park in them without paying.

Street maintenance bans

In Le Sud-Ouest, parking bans for street maintenance run from April 1 to December 1. The sign on your street gives the exact days and hours, and the ban holds for the whole period shown, regardless of the weather. More in our guide to street cleaning.

Snow loading

During snow loading, street parking is banned at certain times, and temporary signs go up. In general, the City says:

• Temporary signs take priority over permanent ones, but the permanent ones still apply.
• If you do not comply with the signs, the City says your vehicle will be towed and you will be fined.
• The narrow-street sticker that some boroughs offer for snow removal is not offered in Le Sud-Ouest.

If your car is gone

The City's Info-Remorquage service finds it by licence plate or on a map. You can also call the Agence de mobilité durable at 514-868-3737. If it went to the pound, the owner pays the storage fees.

Where Panoui! fits

Panoui! reads the City of Montréal's open data on permanent parking signs and shows each known curb in the colour of the rule in force: green, park. Red, don't. Blue, pay. Yellow, for permit holders. Tap a curb for the rule in plain words and when it changes. It doesn't show temporary signs such as snow-loading bans. Panoui! shows the rule, not whether a space is empty. The posted sign always wins, so give it one last look before you leave your car.
