Sangamon County prohibits parking along a set stretch of Chatham Road (County Highway 27) and part of Washington Street near Chatham, under the county's no-parking-areas chapter.

Parking shall be restricted on Chatham Road (County Highway 27), from Wabash Avenue northerly to Jefferson Street, and on Washington Street from County Highway 27 easterly for a distance of 750 feet.

Full Breakdown

The county's parking-restriction chapter bans parking on Chatham Road, designated County Highway 27, from Wabash Avenue north to Jefferson Street, and on Washington Street for 750 feet east of County Highway 27. The restriction was adopted by county board resolution in 1976 and applies only to these named road segments in unincorporated county territory near Chatham: it is not a countywide on-street parking code, and the chapter does not separately address driveway blocking or wrong-way parking.

Violations & Fines

Parking in either restricted zone on Chatham Road or Washington Street violates Section 10.08.010 and can draw a citation from county traffic enforcement.
