Des Plaines does not impose a blanket citywide overnight street-parking ban, but restricted resident districts post 'No Parking 9:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M.' signs, and semitrailer truck cabs and commercial vehicles are barred from overnight on-street parking under Section 7-3-2.
Overnight on-street parking in Des Plaines is controlled chiefly through posted Restricted Resident Parking Districts (Section 7-3-10 and the Maine West High School area district in 7-3-15), where signs reading 'No Parking 9:00 P.M. to 6:00 A.M.' are erected and only permit-holding residents may park during those hours. Section 7-3-2 separately makes it unlawful to park a semitrailer truck cab, with or without an attached trailer, overnight on any public right of way, street, parkway, or sidewalk, and bars overnight parking of commercial vehicles on the public right of way. Antique vehicles are also restricted from repeated overnight street parking. Enforcement and escalating fines (e.g., a $200 fine for a third or more consecutive antique-vehicle overnight violation) are set in Section 7-10-6.
Parking in a posted 9 p.m.-6 a.m. resident district without a permit is ticketed; a third or more consecutive overnight antique-vehicle violation is $200 under Section 7-10-6. Consecutive-day violations of many parking rules run $115 each after the fine increases adopted in 2024.
