NYC Street Parking Map
Read full descriptionHide full description
Getting a parking ticket in New York City ruins your day—and your wallet. Whether you're a delivery driver, a courier, or just circling the block in Manhattan, Park Hero turns confusing curb signs into one simple answer: can you park here right now? We combine official NYC Department of Transportation data with AI to build a color-coded map of every block. No more squinting at three signs stacked on one pole — open the app, tap the curb, and know instantly where you can park, load, or stand. WHAT THE COLORS MEAN GREEN — Free & unrestricted parking YELLOW — Metered parking (know exactly when it's free) ORANGE — Commercial loading zones only RED — Prohibited (fire hydrants, no standing) PURPLE — Street cleaning / alternate side parking BLUE — Authorized / NYPD only Tap any colored line or dot for exact time limits, the next rule change, and your tow risk — all in real time. That's the difference between a parking spot and a $115 fine. BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DRIVE THESE STREETS If you're running delivery routes, working as a courier, or just tired of losing a morning to alternate-side parking, Park Hero is built around your day, not a tourist's. COVERAGE Park Hero currently covers all five boroughs — Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island. More cities are on the way. Try Park Hero free, then continue for $1.99/month.
