Street Cleaning
January 9, 2005 by parkingandtrafficticketinfo.com · 6 Comments
Street Cleaning is usually enforced during a specific time-frame, on a particular day of the week. Check the ticket to see what time the parking-enforcement officer issued the citation. If it’s within a few minutes of the beginning or end of the no-parking time-frame, a judge may give you the benefit of the doubt and dismiss the ticket.








Ever since I got my zone 2 parking permit, I have moved my car every week for the street cleaning. One time I returned early and found out so many cars are still parked there when the sign says it would be towed. Now I am wondering if the city cleans the street at all, and if people actually move their cars? I hardly drive, and not having to move during the weekday would really help.
Any people with insights?
They don’t ticket during the winter, when the fluid they use to clean the street would freeze to the road (that, and the snow creates a physical impairment). You can safely park on either side of the street with no concern for street sweeping regulations come winter.
However, come spring–typically around late March/early April–DPW will circulate a notice that street sweeping is about to re-commence, and tickets will be issued. Both myself and the Mrs. have been ticketed numerous times for this infraction, so I can indeed attest to the fact that you will get ticketed.
