The Los Angeles City website lets motorists know if scheduled street sweeping will actually happen or not.

Motorists will be able to park on selected Los Angeles streets without fear of tickets if street-sweepers fail to stick to their usual cleaning schedules, under a system announced today.
Motorists will be able to park on selected Los Angeles streets without fear of tickets if street-sweepers fail to stick to their usual cleaning schedules, under a system announced today.
The city has established a website, http://bss.lacity.org, where motorists can see if the scheduled street cleaning will actually occur as posted on no-parking signs. If the cleaning will not occur as scheduled, motorists can safely park their cars along streets where parking is normally banned to make way for the cleaning, Mayor Eric Garcetti said.
Garcetti said the new system is a "common sense" approach.
"People shouldn't block the streets from getting swept, and people shouldn't get tickets for no good reason," he said.
