TicketGuard is a Spotlink alert feature that helps NYC drivers stay aware of parking rule timing after parking. TicketGuard must be active before parking so alerts can help with rule windows like street cleaning, no standing, meter timing, and other enforcement-sensitive moments.
How Spotlink Helps
Spotlink helps before parking with CurbAI and rule checks, then TicketGuard helps after parking with parking enforcement alerts. Together they support the ask before you park workflow without claiming to replace official rules or driver judgment.
Practical Examples
- Activate TicketGuard before walking away from a curb with a time-based sign.
- Use TicketGuard when street cleaning starts later in the day.
- Use Spotlink first if a sign is confusing before you decide to park.
- Do not rely on TicketGuard if it was not active before parking.
- Check hydrants, temporary signs, and no standing rules before leaving the car.
Safety And Legal Note
TicketGuard provides alerts and guidance only. It does not guarantee ticket avoidance, cancel enforcement, or prove a vehicle is legally parked.
