Parking in Woodlawn
Almost every parking ticket written here is avoidable, and it comes down to two things: knowing when your block is cleaned, and knowing whether you’re in a permit zone. Both are below — or scan the code at the bottom and type your address to get just your own block.
1When is my street cleaned?
Find your street in the list below and note that row’s dates — those are the 2026 cleaning days for your block. If your street isn’t listed, or you’re near an edge, check your exact address at autopilotamerica.com/check-your-street. Tickets are written from 9am; the restriction lifts at 2pm.
