Oak Park prohibits overnight street parking from November 15 through March 31 between 2:30 AM and 6:00 AM to facilitate snow removal. Year-round, certain residential blocks have additional overnight restrictions requiring Village parking permits.
The Village of Oak Park enforces a seasonal overnight parking ban on all Village streets from November 15 through March 31 each year. During this period, no vehicles may be parked on any public street between 2:30 AM and 6:00 AM, regardless of weather conditions. This ban exists to ensure streets are clear for snow plowing operations. Outside the winter ban period, overnight parking is generally allowed on most streets unless otherwise posted. Some residential blocks have year-round permit parking requirements that effectively restrict overnight parking to permit holders. Residents who need to park overnight during the ban period must use off-street parking such as private driveways, garages, or Village parking lots where available. Temporary overnight parking passes may be available for guests through the Village. The overnight ban is strictly enforced with parking officers patrolling residential streets during ban hours.
Vehicles parked on the street during banned hours receive citations of $50 or more. During active snow events, vehicles may be towed at the owner's expense to clear streets for plowing. The Village does not provide warnings before issuing citations during the ban period.
