If you park on the street in Buffalo, check your sign this weekend. The city's winter parking restrictions start Sunday, Nov. 15 and stay in place through April 1. Mayor Sean Ryan rolled out a "Don't Block Your Block" campaign Friday.
“Our goal isn't to ticket. Our goal isn't to tow. Our goal is to plow your street.”

Drivers who break the rules get warnings during the first week, through Nov. 21. Parking Commissioner Justin Booth said a car blocking a plow may be "mini-towed," meaning moved nearby instead of to an impound lot. The city also added enforcement officers and tow trucks.
- Warnings for violators: Nov. 15 to Nov. 21
