A snow emergency parking ban went into effect in Provincetown around noon on Thursday and will remain in effect until the winter storm has passed and roads are sufficiently cleared. In addition to Commercial Street, all streets with snow emergency ban signs must be cleared for plowing. Cars on marked streets will be towed.
