Full Breakdown
Sec. , during which no trailer, and no passenger motor vehicle or motorcycle towing a trailer, may be parked or stored on any Cicero street or alley or in any municipally owned parking lot or garage. The rule is narrower than the townwide truck ban in Sec. 94-274 in one sense, since it targets trailers and the vehicles towing them rather than trucks generally, but it applies the same overnight window and reaches municipal lots and garages in addition to streets and alleys. There is no stated loading or unloading exception written into this particular section, unlike the neighboring truck-parking ordinance, so a trailer sitting in a municipal lot overnight is a violation regardless of what it is carrying or whether anyone is attending it.
Because the ordinance declares any vehicle parked in violation to be a hazardous vehicle, it falls under the same Division 7 impounding authority used for accident-involved, derelict and other hazardous vehicles, meaning the police superintendent can have the trailer or towing vehicle removed immediately without first posting a warning notice on it.
Violations & Fines
A violation of Sec. 94-275.A carries a fine of not less than $50.00 and not more than $750.00 for each offense. Because the section declares any vehicle parked in violation to be a hazardous vehicle, it is subject to immediate tow without prior notice under the Division 7 impounding rules, and the owner bears the towing and storage costs before the vehicle can be reclaimed.
