Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

The city will be enforcing winter parking rules from December 1 through March 31, according to City Street Manager Joseph Parks. This includes alternate-side parking regulations, as well as tow-away zones and handicap exceptions.

Cars are to be parked on the south and east sides of streets between the hours of 8 a.m. and midnight, and on the north and west sides of streets between midnight and 8 a.m. This is to permit snow plows and emergency vehicles access to all neighborhoods, as well as to keep rush-hour traffic to a minimum.

Vehicles that do not follow these guidelines will be towed at the owner’s expense, Parks said, with the exception of those vehicles displaying handicapped parking permits.
