Smile! You might soon be on camera for breaking alternate-side parking rules in NYC

Cameras may soon be installed on city street sweepers to catch drivers who refuse to move their cars during alternate-side parking rules under a bill that the City Council is urging state lawmakers to pass this session.

The NYC Council said on May 28 that it passed a home rule in support of state legislation that would put cameras on NYC Department of Sanitation (DSNY) sweeping trucks to crack down on violators who refuse to budge during scheduled street sweeping hours.
