Rockaway Beach parking can be very challenging New York City is the most ticketed city in the US. Last year, thousands of parking tickets were issued in the city(!)
SpotAngels is here to the rescue 🦸♀️ This guide will help you understand the street parking rules in Rockaway Beach
Rockaway Beach Street Parking Rules
For starters, the entire city is a designated tow-away zone. That means that if you are found in violation of any parking rules, you could be towed. NYC is so serious about towing that the NYPD even has its own fleet of tow trucks. Here’s how to avoid being towed right off the bat:
- Make sure your vehicle registration and inspection stickers are up to date, if applicable.
- Never, ever double park your vehicle. If there’s already a car parked beside the curb, do not park beside it. Ever.
- Do not park within 15 feet of either side of a fire hydrant. Don’t rely on those nifty painted curbs, either. They lie.
- After you park, check the SpotAngels app to check the street parking rules and be reminded when you need to move your car
Parking Meters in Rockaway Beaches:
In Rockaway Beach, parking meter rates typically range from $1.25 to $4 per hour, depending on the location. Business districts usually have higher rates, while neighborhood retail areas offer more affordable options. The Department of Transportation employs Pay-By-Plate meters, requiring drivers to input their license plate information; displaying a receipt is unnecessary. For precise and current rates, always refer to posted signs or consult the DOT’s official resources or check the SpotAngels map to clear out your doubts 😉
