New York City is reviving an old tactic to keep streets clean: the infamous "shame sticker." In an effort to encourage drivers to move their vehicles during street cleaning, the city is reintroducing the stickers that will be placed on the windshields of cars parked in prohibited areas. The stickers, which will be issued by the Department of Sanitation, will serve as a warning to drivers that their vehicle will be towed if it remains in the same spot after a certain time. By bringing back the shame stickers, the city aims to reduce the number of vehicles parked in street cleaning zones, keeping sidewalks clear and streets clean.
