Alternate side parking suspended: See list of dates for January

NEW YORK (PIX11) -- Anyone who has parked on a New York City street has likely experienced the dread of finding a sign indicating times and days parking is not allowed.

The signs indicate when alternate side parking is active, specifying when parking is prohibited to allow the city to clean the streets.

Those found violating the rules may be ticketed, even if a street sweeper has already passed.

There are certain days each year when ASP rules are suspended, including Sundays and legal and religious holidays.

Alternate side parking is suspended on Monday, Jan. 6, in recognition of Three Kings' Day.

Here is a list of dates when Alternate Side Parking will be suspended this month.

• Monday, Jan. 20 - Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday
• 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.
