Parking

Review the Street, Traffic and Public Places Bylaw to learn about parking regulations in Port Moody. Some regulations to note include:

• do not park within five (5) metres of a fire hydrant
• do not park in a designated accessible parking space (unless you have a permit issued through SPARC BC’s Parking Permit Program for People with Disabilities and you are following the program’s rules)
• do not park a motor vehicle adjacent to another person’s residential property for more than three hours, between the hours of 7am and 7pm, Monday to Friday

Always follow parking regulations to be a good neighbour and to avoid a fine.

Parking safety

Use the Dutch Reach to avoid injuring cyclists or other road users when exiting your vehicle

A driver opening their car door into the path of a cyclist or other road user can cause serious injury. The Dutch Reach is a simple technique that improves driver awareness and prevents "dooring" accidents. It involves using your hand furthest from the door to open it. This action forces your upper body and head to turn which makes it easier to get an unobstructed view of oncoming cyclists, pedestrians, and other vulnerable road users.

The Fraser Health Authority provides both a video demonstration and simple instructions for the Dutch Reach.
