Parking on a Public Holiday?

Street sweeping rules change during major holidays in San Francisco.

View Holiday Schedule

When to Move Your Car on Oak Street

San Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) cleans Oak Street 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 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 Oak 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 Oak 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 Oak Street?

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

Q.Do they sweep Oak Street when it rains?

A.Yes. SFMTA rarely cancels street cleaning for normal rain. Move your car unless the city officially announces a suspension.

Q.Are street sweeping rules paused on holidays?

A.Yes, major holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day usually pause sweeping. But parking meters may still run.
