Ticket Guard™ Stops Tickets Before They Happen.

Parking rules shift fast. Street cleaning jumps back on. Hydrant zones go active. Ticket Guard™ monitors the rules for you — and alerts you before your car becomes a target.

What Ticket Guard™ Does

NYC enforcement is aggressive.

Ticket Guard™ makes sure you always know when a rule is about to activate, so you can move in time.

It tells you exactly:

  • When a rule is starting soon

  • What rule is activating

  • How much time you have left

  • Whether you're in the danger window

  • And whether you need to move your car now

Ticket Guard™

Stay Ahead of Street Cleaning, Hydrants & No-Parking Hours.


1. Watch your parked car in the background

Spotlink monitors the curb rule for the exact spot you parked in.

2. Ticket Guard™ tracks all time-based rules

Street cleaning

No-parking hours

Hydrant restrictions

Seasonal/temporary rules

Holiday changes

3. Get a 15-minute warning before a violation (Plus Users Only)

A real push notification:

“Street cleaning starts in 15 minutes — move your car to avoid a ticket.”

4. Know your status at any moment

Ticket Guard labels your spot:

Safe (green)

Warning (yellow) — rule starting soon

Active Violation (red) — time to move

No more surprises. No more checking signs every hour.

Why Ticket Guard™ Matters

(Real NYC Data)

NYC issues 8–10M tickets/year

Nearly 50% of tickets come from time-based rule activation

Street cleaning alone generates 2.5M tickets/year

Hydrant violations average $115 per ticket

Most drivers get tickets while parked, not while arriving

Ticket Guard™ exists to stop the most common ticket traps — before they hit your windshield.

Ticket Guard™ Protects You From:

  • Street cleaning violations

  • Hydrant activation

  • Hourly no-parking rules

  • Seasonal restrictions

  • Holiday rule changes

  • Temporary construction rules

  • “I thought the sign said 10am” moments
