More street sweepers hit Philadelphia streets on Monday and the city is warning people to get in the habit of moving their cars. New parking restrictions went into effect on Monday, which caught some residents off guard.

Once a week during a two-hour period in certain neighborhoods, it’s going to be illegal to park on the street because doing so would get in the street sweepers’ way.

Chopper 3 was over North Philadelphia Monday afternoon as the city expanded its mechanical cleaning pilot program to include 14 neighborhoods prone to litter.
