Joliet does not have a specific ordinance addressing the practice of saving shoveled parking spots with chairs, cones, or other objects. The city's snow removal ordinance focuses on parking bans during snow events rather than space saving after clearing.
The practice of placing chairs, cones, or other objects to save shoveled-out parking spots (commonly called 'dibs' in the Chicago area) is not specifically addressed in Joliet's municipal code. The city's snow-related parking provision (Section 19-142) establishes a parking ban during snowfall accumulation of 2 inches or more until snow removal is complete, but does not address post-clearance space-saving behavior. General obstruction of public ways provisions may technically apply to objects placed in the street. Unlike Chicago, Joliet has not formalized either a permission or prohibition of the dibs practice.
No specific dibs violation. Objects in the roadway may be removed as obstructions.
