Illinois sets no statewide street-parking time limit, so Champaign and Urbana set their own rules by posted sign. Champaign has no designated snow routes, while Urbana bans parking on certain streets from 2 to 6 a.m., November through March.
Illinois has no statewide limit on how long a vehicle may sit on a public street, so street parking in Champaign County is a local matter enforced by posted signs and city ordinance. Champaign does not use designated snow routes; instead the city asks residents to move vehicles off-street during storms so plows can clear the pavement. Urbana goes further, prohibiting parking on posted streets from 2 a.m. to 6 a.m., November through March, so crews can perform cleaning and snow removal, with violators subject to towing. University of Illinois neighborhoods also use residential permit parking, and vehicles must stay clear of hydrants and intersections.
Parking against a posted restriction brings a ticket, and a vehicle left on an Urbana street during the 2-to-6 a.m. winter window can be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense so crews can clear snow.
