Traffic Bylaw Update

The Village of Duchess has passed an updated traffic bylaw.  Bylaw 451/12 may be viewed at the office at any time.  A couple big changes have come out of this bylaw.

  1. No person shall park a holiday trailer, a utility trailer or any other vehicle that is intended to transport property or persons on any street, avenue or alley within the Village of Duchess unless it is hooked up to a registered vehicle.

  2. When parking on a roadway, a driver shall park his vehicle with the sides parallel to the curb edge of the roadway, and; with the right hand wheels thereof not more than .50 meters from the right hand curb or edges of the roadway.    

Welcome Community Peace Officers

We would also like to welcome the new Community Peace Officers to the Village.  John Nesbitt and Payman Parseyan are our enforcement officers and will be around to ensure that the Traffic Act and the Bylaws of the Village of Duchess are followed.  Council has directed the CPO’s to enforce bylaw infractions that have become troublesome.  Bylaws within a community ensure that the same rules can be applied to all and everyone can know what these same rules are.
