Aurora, IL Parking Rules: Snow Removal Parking Rules (2026)

It shall be unlawful for any person to park a motor vehicle or, if parked, to allow a motor vehicle to remain parked or standing in any public street or alley during or after a snowfall in which there is an accumulation of two (2) inches of snow or more. This prohibition shall remain in effect until such time as the street or alley has been plowed or the snow has been removed therefrom. A city street shall not be deemed to have been plowed until the lane of traffic nearest the curb has been plowed or the snow has been removed therefrom. Whenever a police officer or persons authorized by the chief of police of the city finds a vehicle parked in violation of this section, and where such vehicle constitutes an obstruction to traffic, interferes with the use of streets or in any other manner creates a dangerous or unsafe condition, such vehicle is declared a nuisance and a hazard to public safety, and the police officer or persons authorized by chief of police may cause the removal of such vehicle to a public garage or other place of safety during snow removal operations of the city on such streets, and the expense of such removal and storage in such public garage shall be paid by the owner or operator of the vehicle, in addition to any other penalties imposed by this chapter. (Code 1969, § 27-326)
