Parking in Villeray: the 24-hour limit, permits, street cleaning and snow

Guide · Checked against official pages on November 11, 2026

Villeray is part of the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension borough, and the borough's rules apply on its streets. Two of them stand out: a 24-hour limit for parked cars, and street-cleaning bans that last two hours. Here is what the borough and the City say, rule by rule.

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

The 24-hour limit

In Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, a car, or any other vehicle except a bus, can stay parked on the street for up to 24 hours. After that, the City says you have to move it. Buses can't park between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. The signs on the street still apply.

Permit zones

The borough is divided into numbered parking sectors. When you get a sticker, it shows the number of the sector your home is in. The City's interactive map shows the sectors in force, under the street parking layer.

• Permit spaces are added by default near places that draw a lot of trips: metro stations, commercial streets, hospitals and CLSCs.
• Farther from those places, new permit spaces depend on requests from residents.
• New zones are added in spring and in the fall. The borough sends a notice to residents of the street sections concerned first, and the restrictions apply as soon as the signs go up.

To get a sticker, you must be the vehicle's main driver and your home must be in a residents-only zone. The limit is 1 sticker per person per vehicle, and several people living at the same address can each have one. The price depends on when you buy it, your plate colour and the vehicle's net weight. Bought between July 1 and December 31, a first sticker costs $88 to $189 and an additional one $330, taxes included.

Street cleaning: two-hour bans

Parking bans for street cleaning and maintenance run from April 1 to December 1. Since April 1, 2024, each ban lasts two hours instead of one, with new time slots, and some days have changed. The borough says this came partly from new routes for the mechanical sweepers. The sign on your street gives the exact period, and the City says the ban applies for the whole period shown, rain or shine.

Snow removal

Snow loading follows a storm that leaves at least 10 cm on the ground. The City's central services trigger it, and the borough can also trigger one on its own. No-parking signs then go up:

• A ban can stay up longer than planned, for example after an equipment breakdown, a lot of towing or a change in the weather. Keep following the sign.
• Park parallel to the sidewalk, 30 cm from it, with no part of your car over the sidewalk, mirrors included.
• The borough offers several incentive lots during snow loading. The City's snow removal operations map shows where they are.

The borough says the signs on the street always take precedence over what digital tools show.

Paid parking on commercial streets

The City sets paid parking periods and maximum times to keep cars moving while shops are open. Since February 1, 2026, the Agence de mobilité durable lists an hourly rate of $2.50 for Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension. In the borough's Hôpital Jean-Talon sector, a parcojour lets you pay by the hour ($2.50) or by the day ($11.00), Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Parcojour pay stations show a yellow P instead of a blue one. You can pay remotely with the Mobicité app, and the Agency asks you to check the rate shown on the sign or the pay station.

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 its rule right now: 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, and it doesn't show whether a space is empty. The posted sign always wins, so give it one last look before you leave your car.

Questions drivers ask
