You can't read a pole of five signs at 20 mph, and you shouldn't try. ParkFluent turns every one into a color on the curb, so you see the green ones before you leave the intersection and know which way to turn.

    The most-ticketed curbs in New York City

    Built on the city's own records.

    Every color starts from NYC DOT's parking sign records and NYC Open Data, checked against where tickets are actually written, with live street-cleaning status from NYC 311.

    The data date is on every curb. And because a map can't see a sign that went up this morning, we'll always say it plainly: obey the posted signs.

    Questions

    Is it really free?

    Yes. Every feature is free while we're new. If that ever changes, the basic map stays free.

    Which areas does it cover?

    All five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.

    Will it stop me from ever getting a ticket?

    No app can promise that. ParkFluent shows what the city's sign records say for your whole stay and flags what you'd likely miss. Signs change, so always obey the posted signs.

    How accurate is it?

    Each color comes from the city's sign records, checked against where tickets are actually written. When the records don't settle a curb, it shows gray instead of guessing.

    Does it know when street cleaning is suspended?

    Yes. It checks NYC 311's live alternate-side status, and can tell you the night before.

    Can I use it while driving?

    Set your destination before you go, or let a passenger work the map. Drive mode keeps the map following you, but keep your eyes on the road.

    What do you do with my location?

    It stays on your phone. We use it for the blue dot and to remember where you parked. We don't sell data. See the privacy policy for the details.
