Lowell is a dense mill city, and many homes sit on small city lots. The city offers free garage parking during a ban to residents without off-street parking, so many homes have no driveway at all.
Parking during storms
When a major snow event is forecast, the City of Lowell declares a snow emergency parking ban. All vehicles must be off the street within 6 hours of the declaration, and cars left on the street can be ticketed and towed. The city says cars must not block roads even after a ban is lifted. The city's posted rules give no fine amount and no seasonal overnight ban.
