What is ASP?
ASP - Alternate Side Parking or Street Cleaning rules.
Many streets in New York have alternate side (ASP) regulations, which allow for street cleaning. Different streets have different time restrictions for cleaning (e.g. 8:30 am to 10 am), once or twice per week. Most alternate side parking (ASP) signs are clearly marked with signs featuring a "P" crossed by a broom.
The City suspends ASP regulations on 34 legal and religious holidays. ASP Regulations may be suspended from time to time because of snow, inclement weather or other emergencies. Some metered parking zones have ASP rules. When alternate side parking is suspended for a holiday or other reason, the parking meters remain in effect.
