Snow Parking Ordinance

Does the Village impose a parking ban?

Now that winter is upon us, the village has prepared a few friendly reminders for residents:

SNOW PARKING ORDINANCE

In an effort to keep our residents safe and streets cleared during the winter, the Village of Romeoville would like to remind residents of the Snow Parking Ordinance. The guidelines are as follows:

•  Odd-even parking will go into effect upon the accumulation of 2 inches of snow on the village streets and will remain in effect until snow removal operations are complete. Odd-even street parking requires residents to park along the odd-numbered side of village streets on odd-numbered calendar days and on the even-numbered side of village streets on even numbered calendar days.

• The switch over time for odd-even parking is 6:00 a.m.

• The fine for snow related parking violations is $50.00.

• During snow events, the Romeoville Police may knock on your door, sometimes during very odd hours, as the plows come through. This is a courtesy attempt to have your vehicle moved off the street so that you are not ticketed and towed. The Romeoville Police encourage our residents to verify it is an officer before opening your door. Officers will issue parking citations and a 24 hour tow notice to any vehicles found in violation of the odd-even parking ordinance when contact cannot be made or the vehicle is not moved.

• Vehicles parked on streets designated as parking prohibited after two inches of snow fall will be ticketed and towed immediately.

•  Parking citations for blocking the sidewalk will not be issued until the snow removal operations are complete.

These restrictions do not apply to Grand Haven, Carillon, Highpoint, Wespark (besides Wespark Pkwy, Wespark Circle and Wespark Blvd.), Lakewood Falls (unincorporated), Honeytree (obey the signs that are posted), Malibu Bay Townhomes, Remington Apartments, Village Place Apartments, Springs Apartments, The Bluffs Apartments, and Romeoville Gardens.

Odd-even parking restrictions do not apply when there is no parking on one side of the street.
