Smile! You might get on camera for breaking street-cleaning rules in NYC
Briefly

The NYC City Council is advocating for a bill that would allow cameras to be installed on street sweepers to enforce alternate-side parking rules more effectively. This proposal, backed by Brooklyn Council Member Lincoln Restler, aims to reduce parking violations and thereby improve street cleanliness. The legislation would enable automatic summons issuance for violators, similar to the Automated Camera Enforcement program used for ticketing bus lane violations. The initiative is seen as crucial for enhancing the quality of life in NYC by ensuring that street sweepers can perform their duties without obstruction.

The proposed legislation would enable the installation of cameras on street sweepers to ensure compliance with alternate-side parking rules, similar to existing measures for bus lanes.
