The two sides of one block often have different sweeping days[4]. Posted rules include the second or third Tuesday through Friday, depending on the block[1].

Reading the sign on your block

Look for the red-and-white sign on your block. It states which side of the street is swept and on what day[3]. The sign applies only to the curb it faces[4].

The sign on your block is the law. Hours are not always listed in city records, so check the physical pole to confirm when the restriction begins and ends[1].
