Parking on a Public Holiday?

Street sweeping rules change during major holidays in San Francisco.

When to Move Your Car on Bradford Street

San Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) cleans Bradford Street regularly to keep the city free of trash. Make sure your vehicle is not parked here during the restricted hours on Thursday and Friday. Enforcement usually starts strictly around 12. Finding a new parking spot can take 15-20 minutes, so plan ahead.

Commute Tow-Away Zones

A $90 sweeping ticket is bad, but getting your car towed is much worse. Many streets connected to Bradford Street become 'tow-away zones' during morning and evening commute hours. Always read the whole parking sign. If the sign says 'Tow-Away', your car will be removed immediately.

Missing Signs & 72-Hour Rule

Sometimes parking signs on Bradford Street get painted over or go missing. You are still responsible for knowing the sweeping schedule. You can call 311 to report broken signs. Also, remember SF's 72-hour rule: you cannot leave your car in the exact same spot for more than 3 days, even if there is no street cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q.What time do they sweep Bradford Street?

A.The exact time varies, but enforcement often begins near 12. Check our schedule map above or look at the street signs.
