FAQ

What is alternate side parking in NYC?

Alternate side parking (ASP) is a New York City traffic rule that requires car owners to move their vehicles from one side of the street to the other on designated days and times so the city can clean the streets. ASP is in effect Monday through Saturday and is never in effect on Sundays.

When is alternate side parking suspended?

ASP is suspended on major holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas), religious observances (Passover, Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Good Friday, Easter, and others), and during weather emergencies like snowstorms declared by the Mayor.

What time does alternate side parking start?

Times vary by street. Common windows include 8:00-9:30 AM, 8:30-10:00 AM, 9:00-10:30 AM, and 11:00 AM-12:30 PM. Always check the posted signs on your specific block.

What is the fine for an alternate side parking ticket?

The fine for an alternate side parking violation in NYC is $65. Your car will not be towed for an ASP violation alone, but repeated violations can lead to additional penalties.

Is alternate side parking suspended on Sundays?

Yes, alternate side parking is never in effect on Sundays in New York City.

How do I know if alternate side parking is suspended for snow?

Snow emergency suspensions are announced by the Mayor's office and published through NYC 311. This site pulls live data from NYC 311, so check back during winter storms for real-time updates.

Can I sit in my car during alternate side parking?

Yes. If you're sitting in your car during street cleaning hours, you can legally remain in the spot. If a traffic agent approaches, you can simply move your car briefly and return. Many NYC drivers use this strategy to avoid circling for parking.

Is double parking allowed during street cleaning?

Double parking is technically illegal at all times in NYC and carries a $115 fine. However, it is common practice during alternate side parking hours. You may still be ticketed for double parking even during street cleaning times.

Can I get more than one alternate side parking ticket in a day?

Generally no. NYC policy limits one ASP ticket per side of the street per day. However, you can receive other parking violations (expired meter, no standing, etc.) on the same day in addition to the ASP ticket.
