The 2-hour sign, the 22-minute reality
San Francisco posts a street-cleaning window — often two hours — but the ticket doesn't wait. Across ~650,000 citations, the typical SF block gets all of its tickets inside the same ~22 minutes, usually right after the window opens. In Oceanview/Merced/Ingleside, that cluster lands around 9am on Thursdays.
Once the sweeper has physically passed your side of the street, SFMTA's own rules let you re-park there — even before the posted hours end. But don't park early assuming it's done, and being even a minute off is still ticketable.
Good to know: a residential parking permit (RPP) runs $215/yr; meters are free on Sundays and three holidays; and a car can't sit in one spot more than 72 hours, even with a permit. The posted sign is always the final word.

How do I avoid a street-cleaning ticket in Oceanview/Merced/Ingleside?
Move your car before the posted window — most tickets here are written around 9am on Thursdays. CURB lets you tap your block, see the next sweep, and set a free reminder (calendar or push) ~30 minutes before, plus the night before. The posted sign always wins if it differs.
Can I park after the street sweeper passes in Oceanview/Merced/Ingleside?
Yes — under SFMTA's rules, once the sweeper has physically swept your side of the street you can re-park there, even if the posted hours haven't ended. But you can't park during the posted window just because it looks done early, and being even a minute off is ticketable. On most Oceanview/Merced/Ingleside blocks the sweep clusters around 9am on Thursdays — check your exact block on the map.
Is street cleaning enforced on holidays?
Residential street sweeping is suspended on roughly a dozen observed city holidays (for example New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving and Christmas); many overnight commercial routes still run. Temporary signs and the posted schedule always override — when in doubt, read the sign on your block.
What if my car was towed for street cleaning in Oceanview/Merced/Ingleside?
SF street-cleaning tows go to AutoReturn at 450 7th Street (open 24/7) — call (415) 865-8200 or check autoreturn.com to find your car. Expect a tow fee plus daily storage on top of the $105 ticket; a discounted low-income rate is available. Note: SF's "Text Before Tow" alerts do not cover street-cleaning tows.
How do I contest a street-cleaning ticket?
File a protest within 21 days of the citation through the SFMTA citation portal — ideally with a photo from where you parked showing a missing, faded, or blocked sign, or that you were ticketed outside the posted window. A meaningful share of first-level protests are dismissed, so it's often worth contesting if your sign was unclear.
