Newark street sweeping is ward-based, so the first thing to check is not just the street name — it is the ward, side-of-street rule, and posted sign on the actual block.
Newark DPW publishes a weekly motor-broom schedule by ward. South, Central, and West Wards are listed for Monday service, with alternate-side service Tuesday; North, East, and Lower West are listed for Wednesday service, with alternate-side service Thursday; Friday is used for city corridors, city aisles, and the Downtown District. Posted signs and current notices still control the block.
Look for no-parking street-cleaning signs, temporary signs posted for sweeping or construction, and any curb rules that overlap with meters or residential restrictions. If a block is part of a sweeping route, do not assume a nearby side street follows the same day or side.
Use the neighborhood guide to pick a starting area, then use aSpot to compare nearby blocks before you settle in. The safest Newark street-cleaning strategy is to avoid parking on the side that will be swept next, especially near Downtown, Ironbound, University Heights, North Broadway, Weequahic, and Vailsburg.
The guide explains the rule. aSpot helps you compare nearby blocks before you circle again.
