[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who say "no" to saving spaces always have big SUVs or trucks. Or do a poor job of clearing their space.

If you put in the time to do a good job cleaning out a spot, [b]it's yours until it melts.[/b] If everyone actually did a good job, no one would need to "spaces." But just because you half assed it, doesn't mean I did, and it doesn't mean you get my thoroughly cleared spot.

Just saying that in Boston, where this practice is kind of famous, you get the storm day and the next day. They even announce on the news when you have to remove your space saver. :)

Interesting, good to know. [/quote]

Boston has really strict rules around this and tickets violators. Space savers can only be used during an actual snow emergency (after it has been publicly announced) and for 48 hours after the declared end of the snow emergency.  Also, there are parts of Boston where space savers are banned--you can't use them in the South End. There are also many streets where you cannot park at all as soon as a snow emergency is announced because they need to keep them completely clear for plows.

You also have to clear your sidewalks within 3 hours of the end of the snow (or 3 hours after sunrise if it stopped snowing overnight) and you can't put the snow in the street.
