Naperville, IL – Drivers in Naperville can park overnight on city streets during the holiday period, as police temporarily suspend enforcement of the city’s overnight parking ordinance starting tonight.
According to the Naperville Police Department, enforcement of overnight parking restrictions will be paused beginning Monday night, Dec. 22, to accommodate out-of-town guests and residents using alternative transportation home after holiday gatherings.
During this period, vehicles are allowed to remain parked overnight on city streets without risk of ticketing. Police say the temporary suspension is meant to ease holiday travel stress while promoting safer transportation choices.
The parking break will remain in effect through the end of the holiday season. Enforcement will resume at 2 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 2, according to police.
Officials emphasized that weather conditions could override the suspension. If snow is expected or falling, drivers are urged not to park on the street overnight so snowplows can safely clear roadways.
Naperville’s overnight parking ordinance typically restricts street parking between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., with limited exceptions. The temporary suspension applies citywide, including residential neighborhoods across DuPage County and the western Chicago suburbs.
Police encourage residents to stay aware of changing weather conditions and any additional announcements during the holiday period. Drivers should also be mindful of posted signage and avoid blocking driveways, fire hydrants, or intersections.
The department shared the reminder as part of its broader holiday safety messaging, encouraging residents to plan ahead and prioritize safe transportation options when attending celebrations.
