Most City streets, not just those posted for removal of cars, are swept twice per month. Street sweeping serves two important functions: it helps prevent pollutants from flowing into the Bay or diminishing air quality as dust, and it helps remove leaves and debris from the street that would otherwise accumulate on storm drain inlets and contribute to local flooding during storms.
The following map shows the general areas of street sweeping in the City; for more specific information on the areas, visit the Alphabetical Index of Streets or Street Sweeping by Area.
Street cleaning is performed and enforced every day of the year except City Holidays.
