North Capitol Hill street sweeping schedule

Street sweeping in North Capitol Hill happens from April through November, once a month. The first week of the month is the most common time for sweeping, with most signs scheduling the first Tuesday or first Wednesday.

The exact day depends on your block and which side of the street your car is parked on. The two sides of one block often have different days^[2].

Reading the sign on your block

Look for the red-and-white sign on your block. It lists the sweeping day for that side of the street. The restriction applies only to the curb being swept, and only on the posted day^[4].

The sign on your block is the law. Hours may be posted on the pole but not in the city’s inventory, so check in person. If the sign says first Tuesday, your car must be moved that day^[3].
