Rules to check

Read the curb before you walk away.

Street sweeping

Newark sweeping is ward-based, so check the posted sign and whether the block follows an alternate-side cleaning day.

Meters and payment

If the block is metered, match the meter, pole, letter, arrow, or ParkMobile details before paying.

Ticket risk

Hydrants, driveways, temporary signs, loading zones, bus stops, and corners can create ticket risk even when a space looks open.
