✦ Plain-Language Summary
This law automatically suspends alternate side of the street parking rules in New York City when it snows. This means NYC drivers won't have to move their cars for street cleaning during snowfall events. It makes it easier for residents to keep their vehicles parked safely while the city manages snow-covered streets.
