Emergency Suspensions of Alternate Side Parking Regulations
Alternate Side Parking Regulations may be changed from time to time because of snow emergencies, inclement weather conditions or other emergencies.

Alternate Side Parking rules were suspended on December 19-24, 2008, January 10, January 15-16, January 20-21, January 27-28, February 4 and March 2-4, 2009 to facilitate snow removal.
Mayor Bloomberg signs legislation temporarily suspending alternate side of the street parking regulations during snowstorms.
Temporary Suspensions of Street Cleaning Regulations
Street Cleaning Regulations (SCR) may be suspended temporarily in parts of the City in order to post new regulations. This program is a cooperative Department of Transportation/Department of Sanitation effort to change existing street cleaning rules, as well as to replace missing or damaged parking signage.
When the Department of Sanitation makes a determination to change street cleaning rules in an affected area, the regulations are suspended temporarily to allow the Department of Transportation to post new signs describing the new rules. This suspension does not affect other parking rules which are not Street Cleaning Regulations.
When the posting of new signage is completed, the Department of Sanitation provides a weeklong orientation period during which its crews clean the streets according to the newly posted schedule but do not issue summonses. At the conclusion of the orientation period, enforcement of the new rules takes effect.
