WHY ARE THERE ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING RULES IN NEW YORK CITY?
The ASP Rules are also referred to as the NYC Street Cleaning Rules. This is because New York City needs to be able to clean it’s streets. So, each day, they require that cars are removed from the street for a couple of hours a day. During that period, Street Sweepers and Street Cleaners work to clean the streets of New York City.
