With the cold approaching, and backing off occasionally, the possibility of snowfall increases. The North Platte Police Department wants to remind you of an ordinance concerning trailers and/or boats parked on streets during the snow common months.

A news release from the N.P.P.D. explains the ordinance,

“According to North Platte City Ordinance § 76.21 Parking of Boats and Trailers.  “During the months of November, December, January, February and March of every calendar year, it shall be unlawful for any person owning or being in custody or control of the boat or trailer to park or leave standing on the streets of the city any boat, boat trailer, pontoon or pontoon trailer, except for the purposes of loading and unloading, and then only for the length of time necessary to load or unload the boat or trailer.”

In some cases, boats and trailers parked on the street can causes visibility issues for some motorists.
