Also, during the winter season, the City of Dorval implements a temporary signage system during snow removal operations. Therefore, from November 15 to April 15 inclusive, in order to facilitate the work of snow removal employees, the City asks that motorists respect the temporary parking signs when displayed on the streets of Dorval (by-law RCM-1308).
Please take note that temporary parking signs take precedence over permanent ones. Failure to respect this signage will result in the towing of the vehicle, which will be moved to a nearby street.
