When to Move Your Car on Cargo Way

San Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) cleans Cargo Way regularly to keep the city free of trash. Make sure your vehicle is not parked here during the restricted hours on Tuesday and Thursday. Enforcement usually starts strictly around 0. 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 Cargo Way 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 Cargo Way 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.
