During a state of emergency, residents are reminded that it is a violation of Town Code to leave a vehicle on the road while the state of emergency is in effect. Vehicles left on the road may be ticketed and/or towed.
Please move your car off the road and into your driveway or onto your lawn. You CAN park on your lawn during a state of emergency.
