The City of Maple Ridge manages parking to balance the needs of residents, motorists, and visitors.
Parking regulations help keep on-street parking available for everyone and ensure the safe and efficient movement of pedestrians, cyclists, public transit, and motorists in Maple Ridge. The Highway and Traffic Bylaw outlines parking rules and regulations in the City of Maple Ridge.
Overview of Parking Regulations
The information below is considered a general overview only. If any information differs from city bylaws, the BC Motor Vehicle Act and Maple Ridge’s Highway and Traffic Bylaw shall take precedence.
Street Parking
Street parking is available on a first come, first served basis. The street is open to the public and anybody may legally park on a residential street unless posted otherwise. As per our current Highway and Traffic Bylaw, no vehicle may remain parked in the same location on a public street for more than 72 hours.
Parking Near Driveways
In Maple Ridge, vehicles must not park within 3 metres (9 ft.) of a driveway. To lodge a complaint about a vehicle parking too close to your own driveway, contact the City's Bylaw, Licensing & Community Safety department with a description (including licence plate) of the problem vehicle. Please note that anonymous complaints are not accepted.
Impounded Vehicles
Vehicles can be impounded from city streets, parks, and city-owned parking lots for a variety of reasons:
- Broken bylaw(s)
- Outstanding ticket(s)
- Abandoned vehicle(s)
- Safety hazard
Where To Find Your Vehicle If It Has Been Towed
If your vehicle has been towed from a city street, park, or city-owned parking lot, you may find your vehicle at:
Maple Ridge Towing

24-Hour Towing and Roadside Services
If your vehicle has been towed from a commercial parking lot or garage, check the tow away sign on site for the name and location of the company that has impounded your vehicle.
If your car is not at any impound lot, it may have been courtesy towed to the first available location due to filming or construction work. Check around the corner or nearby area, or ask the crew on site, if present.
