NYC Street Parking Rules

Can I park on this NYC block right now?

CurbCue reads NYC parking signs for you — live, on a map, right where you're standing. It turns NYC street parking rules into one color-coded answer: green means you can probably park, red means you'll get a ticket.

Street parking in New York City means decoding a wall of signs while double-parked with your hazards on. Street cleaning one morning, a meter on the next block, a hydrant you never saw. CurbCue puts all of it on a single parking map, block by block and curb by curb.

Key Features
• Live parking map — every curb color-coded so legal street parking is obvious at a glance
• Alternate side parking and street cleaning schedules for your exact block, by the hour
• Plain-English NYC parking rules — tap any sign instead of squinting at "NO STANDING EXCEPT TUESDAY 8-10AM"
• Meter hours, rates and time limits before you pay
• Fire hydrant no-parking zones — the parking ticket you never see coming
• NYC school-day and ASP holiday calendars built in, so suspensions appear automatically
• Optional hands-free voice guidance while you drive

Street Cleaning and Alternate Side Parking
Alternate side parking tickets more New Yorkers than any other rule. CurbCue shows the street cleaning window for the curb you are actually looking at, and knows when ASP is suspended for a holiday — so you are not moving your car for nothing.

How It Works
• Open the parking map and CurbCue finds your block automatically
• Every curb is colored by its status right now
• Tap a sign or block face for the exact rule in plain English
• Turn on voice guidance for hands-free NYC parking rules while you drive

Built on Official NYC Data
CurbCue runs on NYC Open Data — the city's own parking-regulation signs, meter schedules, hydrant locations and authoritative street centerline. It refreshes automatically, so your parking map and NYC parking rules stay current.

Why CurbCue?
Most parking apps help you pay a meter or book a garage. CurbCue is about street parking: it answers the question that actually costs you money — is this curb legal right now? It reads the parking signs, not just the lots.

Perfect For
• Drivers hunting legal street parking in Manhattan and beyond
• Delivery and rideshare drivers who cannot afford a parking ticket
• Anyone juggling alternate side parking and street cleaning every week
