Martin Luther King Jr. Day: Is alternate side parking suspended?
42
NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Have you ever had to wake up early to move your car for street cleaning, only to find yourself driving around the neighborhood searching for a new parking spot?
Well, you are in luck!
Alternate side parking is suspended on Monday, Jan. 20 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Drivers should remember that parking within 15 feet of either side of a fire hydrant is illegal and that painted curbs at hydrant locations do not indicate where they can park.
Cars parked near fire hydrants will be ticketed. Parking meters will remain in effect citywide.
Alternate side parking will also be suspended on these days:
- Tuesday, Jan. 28 – Lunar New Year’s Eve
- Wednesday, Jan. 29 – Lunar New Year
ASP regulations may also be suspended due to inclement weather. Vehicle owners are encouraged to check online or dial 311 for updates.
