Parking Bans: A Snow Emergency and two parking bans are in effect:  

• Snow Emergency Parking Ban ending at 8 p.m. tonight, Friday, February 20, 2026: A snow emergency parking ban means parking is banned on both sides of emergency snow routes, arterial streets, school and bus routes. Maps of these routes are available at lincoln.ne.gov/snow under the “Parking Bans & Ordinances” tab. Please plan for alternate parking to allow crews room to clear the way safely and efficiently. 
• Residential Parking Ban: A residential parking ban means parking is banned only on the even-numbered side of residential streets during 2026. This will assist snowplow crews in clearing neighborhood streets faster and more efficiently. A residential parking ban applies to streets that are not emergency snow routes, arterials or bus routes or included in a snow removal district. 

City Operations: Winter operation crews are plowing and applying granular salt pre-wet with brine to arterial routes. 

Street conditions: Streets range from wet with slush to partially covered. Drivers should be alert for refrozen slick spots as overnight temperatures drop.

Next update: 9:30 a.m., Saturday, February 21, 2026
