New York City has temporarily suspended alternate side parking (ASP) regulations, which are normally enforced to allow for street cleaning. The Department of Transportation announced that ASP will remain suspended through February 8, to enable snow removal operations. NBC New York reported on the suspension and related updates.
Although alternate side parking (ASP) rules are temporarily suspended, metered parking remains in effect throughout the city. Residents are still required to follow other posted parking regulations and are advised to clear snow from their vehicles, as temperatures are expected to drop later in the week, which could complicate snow removal efforts.
The late-January storm that led to the ASP suspension was part of a larger weather system affecting nearly half of the country, bringing snow and freezing rain that created hazardous road conditions and disrupted public transit, impacting the daily commute for many in the tri-state area. Even during the ASP suspension, drivers are still required to follow all other posted parking regulations.
CBS News provides a list of planned alternate side parking (ASP) holidays and suspensions. The schedule includes dates such as Lincoln’s Birthday on February 12 and Washington’s Birthday on February 16, among others. These planned suspensions give vehicle owners relief from moving their cars on certain days, though the dates may change due to unforeseen weather events or emergencies.
