Keeping Los Angeles streets clean is a vital service provided by StreetsLA, enhancing the quality of life for everyone in the city. You’ve likely seen the street sweepers, operated by our dedicated Motor Sweeper Operators, diligently working to maintain our roadways.
Across Los Angeles, over 4,700 curb miles are marked with “No Parking” signs specifically for street sweeping. These regulations are in place to allow our sweepers full access to the curb, ensuring we effectively clean the streets, prevent debris from entering our waterways, and reduce the risk of flooding caused by blocked storm drains.
Recently, like many city services, street sweeping schedules have been adjusted due to staffing shortages resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic’s financial impact and a city-wide hiring freeze. Previously swept weekly, routes are now serviced biweekly, occurring either on the first and third weeks or the second and fourth weeks of each month.
To help you stay informed and avoid parking tickets, we encourage you to sign up for street sweeping notifications specific to your La Street! We’ll send alerts 24 and 48 hours before scheduled sweeping in your registered location. Simply fill out the form on this page, or use our interactive map to explore streets where you frequently park and register for notifications for multiple locations.
Remember to always check posted street signs to avoid parking citations. Vehicles parked in restricted zones during scheduled street sweeping times will be ticketed. Utilize the Street Sweeping Near Me webpage and our notification system to stay updated on sweeping plans for your street and plan your parking accordingly. For comprehensive information regarding parking regulations and enforcement, please visit the LA Department of Transportation’s parking information pages.
Your cooperation in keeping streets clear of parked cars on sweeping days is greatly appreciated. By ensuring our sweepers can reach the curb where debris accumulates, you directly contribute to making our LA streets safer, more mobile, and sustainable for everyone.
