NEW YORK CITY—
Automated cameras may soon catch drivers who don’t move their cars for street cleaning.
The new enforcement system is proposed in two bills in the state Senate and Assembly, which would create a pilot program to test out the cameras in parts of New York City. The bills were introduced earlier this year.
Last week, the New York City Council passed a home rule resolution in support of the legislation, which officially requests state action.
If passed, the cameras would be placed on street sweeping vehicles. They’d catch and automatically fine drivers who fail to comply with alternate side parking signs, which require drivers to move their cars to one side of the road for 90 minutes, twice a week.
For the first 60 days of the program, drivers would only receive warnings. Then, fines will reach up to $50 with a $25 late fee, according to the City Council resolution.
“Regular street sweepings are a vital component of New York City’s efforts to maintain street cleanliness, reduce local vermin and litter issues, and keep stormwater conveyance infrastructure working as intended,” reads the resolution.
“Camera-based enforcement paired with a reasonable monetary penalty may compel better adherence to street cleaning time.”
