Bronx County Street Parking Limits Rules (2026) — What You Need to Know

Alternate Side Parking (ASP) is one of the most impactful daily regulations for Bronx residents who own cars. Street signs throughout the borough indicate specific days and times when vehicles must be moved to allow street sweepers to clean the curb lane. Typical enforcement windows are 1.5 or 3 hours, usually in the morning or early afternoon, and most streets have ASP scheduled Monday through Saturday.

In the Bronx, the fine for an ASP violation is $45, compared to $65 for Manhattan south of 96th Street. ASP rules are suspended on major legal and religious holidays, as published in the annual NYC DOT parking suspension calendar. The city also suspends ASP during snow emergencies and other severe weather events. Meters, however, remain in effect during ASP suspensions.

Beyond ASP, general street storage rules apply: no vehicle may be parked on any NYC street for more than seven consecutive days when parking is not otherwise restricted. Double parking of passenger vehicles is illegal at all times, including during street cleaning operations, regardless of purpose or duration. It is also illegal to park within 15 feet of either side of a fire hydrant. The full regulations for parking, stopping, and standing are found in 34 RCNY §§ 4-08, 4-12, and 4-13, administered by the NYC Department of Transportation.
