Parking Tickets…yuck

Daylight saving time is coming and so is mechanical street sweeping in the District’s most heavily trafficked neighborhoods, starting Monday, March 26, 2007. Also, alternate-side parking restrictions in these areas will return. Parking tickets, which carry a $30 fine, will be issued, beginning April 2, to vehicles parked during street sweeping hours in areas posted with “No Parking/Street Cleaning” signs. Additionally, parked cars may be towed to allow the sweepers access to the curbside. Generally, parking is prohibited for two hours while sweeping is underway.

Weekly street cleaning routes can be found across the city in high-density neighborhoods, especially areas with significant foot traffic, such as Adams Morgan, Dupont Circle, Logan Circle and parts of Capitol Hill.
