PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Drivers in some Philadelphia neighborhoods need to be on the lookout for no parking signs.
Starting Monday, the city is cracking down on drivers who park on streets in the 14 neighborhoods being cleaned as part of the Mechanical Street Cleaning program.
While the city has posted signs to inform drivers they'll need to move their vehicles off select streets on cleaning days, they'll now be actively enforcing the rule.
If you don't move your car from the designated no parking areas, you can be fined $31.
The Mechanical Street Cleaning program uses mechanical brooms to sweep street debris and clean select city routes from April through November each year. Sanitation workers also clean certain routes with backpack blowers and hand brooms.
As part of the program, sanitation officers can also issue sanitation code violations related to litter and dumping.
