Parking Rules and Penalties
Street parking is not available midtown and is scarce elsewhere. Some avenues have
curb meters allowing 15- to 60-minute stays; overstaying means an extremely ex-
pensive ticket or towing fee. Side streets have “alternate side” regulations banning
cars, during certain hours and on alternate days, from parking on alternate sides of
the street.
