Street Sweeping Parking Restriction
To comply with state and federal environmental regulations requiring proper sweeping of gutters, the Cerritos Municipal Code prohibits parked vehicles from blocking the street sweeper on specified days and during specified times.
Note the detailed maps specifying the days and the four-hour periods when street-cleaning parking is prohibited. No parking signs are posted at the entrances to every housing tract. Violators will be issued a $25 citation. No citation will be issued unless a parked vehicle is observed blocking a street sweeper. The restriction will not be enforced during weeks when there is an official federal holiday.
