Street Cleaning is the parking rule that forces the clearing of parked cars to accommodate the sweeping of the streets in Los Angeles.
It happens once or twice a week in many areas of downtown LA, Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Venice, Inglewood, etc. If you park during alternate side parking hours, you are likely to get a street cleaning ticket so read this guide carefully 🙂

Is it legal to park after the street sweeper passes?
Unless you find parking signs that read “parking permitted after the street sweeper passes” or you’re willing to pay the fine, avoid street parking the entire time. L.A street sweepers are notorious for not actually doing their sweeping. Even if you don’t think the street sweeper will be coming down your street, people have reported finding tickets on their windshields regardless.
