He or she wasn't charged under the highway traffic act. They were ticketed by Brampton Parking enforcement and charged under city bylaw. City of Brampton By-law 93-93 Section 44 as already stated.
PARKING OR STANDING INTERFERING WITH SNOW REMOVAL AND/OR WINTER MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES 44. Notwithstanding any other provision of this by-law which permits the parking of vehicles on highways, no person shall park or stand a vehicle on a highway in such a manner as to interfere with snow removal and/or winter maintenance activities.

Where else would you like enforcement to place your ticket on a snow covered car? Under your wipers?
AnswersPleaseThanks wrote:maybe it covers it. i was legally parked on the residential street, so I am wondering if that may work in my favour. Also, the snow clearing was done within a few hrs of the snowfall beginning, not the next day or 24 hrs later (not sure if this helps me).
No signs on the street, but again not sure if that can help me.
If you are parked on the street while snow removal is taking place, you are no longer parked legally. Whether they remove the snow a couple hours later or 24 hours later is a non issue. Snow removal routes are priority based. They are not cleared on a whim. No signs are necessary. Any bylaw that is sign related will say so.
This is based off Brampton by-law. Every city is different and by-laws vary due to population, density, and other factors.

You can speak to a prosecutor and find out if they are willing to change the charge for a guilty plea to something less drastic. Maybe just a regular 3 hour parking ticket. It's up to them.
