Understanding Alternate Side Parking Rules in New York City?

Hey Folks,

Just moved to NYC and need help with alternate side parking rules. What exactly is it? When and how long do I need to move my car for street cleaning? How can I find my street’s schedule? What are the penalties for not moving on time? Any tips for navigating this efficiently? Thanks for your advice and experiences…

Alternate side parking in NYC is for street cleaning and forces you to move your car on particular days and hours. The timetable can be seen on your street’s posted signs or through the city’s online portal. Fines for not moving your car can vary between $45 and $65.

Tickets feel like an unavoidable expense that comes along with owning a car. So, I recently shelled out $1200 to have a boot removed for some tickets that I had no clue about. Turns out, these speeding camera tickets were sent to my old address.

I find this city to be quite adept at issuing tickets and capitalizing on individuals.
