Snow Removal
The Town of Hampstead provides snow plowing services for Town Roads. Our Department of Public Works monitors incoming weather systems closely and prepares and clears our roads as quickly as possible.
Please keep the following in mind before and during snow events:
Please keep the following in mind before and during snow events:
- Our plow drivers are plowing the entire Town and cannot plow your driveway.
- Please understand when we plow streets clear of snow we try to be sensitive to your freshly-cleared driveway but there are times when a berm is produced and blocking is unavoidable. We apologize if this happens and regret the inconvenience.
- Please do not park in courts, cul-de-sacs, or along streets marked "No Parking" (or where you see a snowflake sign) during snow events...our plows need full access to better clear our Town.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping Hampstead safe!
Snow Emergency Procedures
PARKING DURING A SNOW EMERGENCY
- Vehicles should be parked in driveways, out of cul-de-sacs, and off public streets to allow for safe and efficient snow removal.
- Parking on Main Street and all other snow emergency routes is prohibited and may result in a citation (up to $100) and/or towing.
- Residents without driveways or off-street parking may park at Panther Park (off Christopher Way) or in the Town parking lots located on Houck Avenue and Fairmount Road. Parking lanes in these lots will be kept clear so residents can access their vehicles.
RESIDENT RESPONSIBILITIES
- Do not place snow into plowed roadways, as this interferes with snow removal and creates safety hazards.
- Property owners are responsible for clearing sidewalks adjoining their property in accordance with Town Code Article II: Snow and Ice Removal.
- Public Works is not responsible for plowing use-in-common driveways.
Your cooperation is essential to allow our Public Works team to work quickly and efficiently to keep Hampstead’s roads safe and passable.
