Winter Parking Regulations:

Vehicles in the City of Racine or Kenosha must park on the even-numbered address side of the street between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. of an even-numbered calendar day, and on the odd-numbered side of the street between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. of an odd-numbered day.

In other words, on the evening of Dec. 1, cars parked on the even-numbered side of each road will be adhering to the regulation. Remember that the regulation is based upon the post-midnight date of the night in question.

If these regulations are violated, vehicles/people are subject to ticketing and a $20 fine in Racine, or a $30 fine in Kenosha.
