Is alternate side parking in effect today?

Alternate side parking regulations allow for street cleaning. They are in effect on the days and during the hours printed on your block's sign. The City of New York suspends ASP rules on specific legal and religious holidays, and also suspends them because of weather and emergencies.

The checker above uses today's date in New York (America/New_York), whatever time zone your phone is set to. A "Suspended" answer means the date is on the NYC DOT suspension calendar. An "In effect" answer means no scheduled suspension applies, so the rule on your sign applies on the days it lists. Add ?date=YYYY-MM-DD to the address, or use the date box, to check another date.

How to read an alternate side parking sign

Simplified alternate side parking sign: a red P with a broom through it, 11:30AM to 1PM, TUES FRIP11:30AM-1PMTUES FRI
  • The P with a broom: the broom symbol marks a street-cleaning (alternate side parking) rule for that side of the street.
  • The days: the abbreviations are the days the rule applies. MON THURS means Monday and Thursday; TUES FRI means Tuesday and Friday.
  • The time window: the rule applies only during the posted hours, for example 11:30AM-1PM.
  • On suspended days: the street-cleaning rule is off. Meters and all other rules still apply, except on major legal holidays, when parking meter regulations are also suspended.
  • The sign shown is a simplified illustration. Always follow the exact sign on your block.
