App for alternate-side parking regulations, street by street, in NYC?
November 18, 2013 8:26 AM   Subscribe

Is there an app or a web site that will tell you what the alternate-side regulations for each block in the city? (And if there are meters or) not.

I need to make a trip in a car to Soho and then midtown. I'm wondering if there is a app that will let me plan my trip so that [this is an ideal scenario and I know it's unlikely] I could drive to Broadway and Houston on a Wednesday and catch the tail end of the 8:30-10AM Wednesday No Parking blocks, then drive to 58th and 5th and catch the tail end of the 10-11:30 Wednesday No Parking blocks, and then be home for the tail end of the 11:30-1 Wednesday No Parking blocks.

Barring that, an app that tells me where there's metered parking. Does this exist?

The NYC DOT site might be helpful, i.e. the Parking Signs layer.

Response by poster: Thanks, 1970s Antihero--I saw that, but the pages (both the map and the text-based) don't seem to work for me. The map page is blank and the text-based one won't let me enter cross streets. (Should have said that in my question.)

I use Best Parking for just this kind of thing.

Primo Spot (RIP) used to do this exactly as you specify, and has recently ceased operation. The DOT website is not really a good replacement, and I haven't found anything equivalent. Best Parking only lists garages, not street parking.

Hmm. I just opened up the best parking app (thinking perhaps you had a new version?) and right at the top of the map screen, you can seacrh bu lots or on-street parking. The on-street parking screen offers you a guide for frfee and metered parking.
