The Village of Streamwood has a Village Ordinance that prohibits parking on any Village street, for any vehicles, between the hours of 1:00-5:00 am.  The Village has a program in place to allow for exceptions such as out-of-town visitors or unforeseen circumstances.  Each household is allowed to obtain five (5) 3-night parking permits, in a calendar year, for situations where a vehicle cannot be parked in the driveway of the home.  The permits are free of charge.  To obtain a permit, the homeowner can enter the vehicle information here.

Village Ordinances prohibit parking over the sidewalk to ensure safe pedestrian and bicycle access. This is especially important during the school year and summer hours when small children are present. During the hours when street parking is prohibited, blocking the sidewalk is allowed. However, from March 1-November 30, you cannot park across the sidewalk from 7:00 am-9:00 pm (Monday-Friday), or 9:00 am-9:00 pm on the weekends. However, during the winter (December 1-February 28), this does not apply to vehicle standing on residential driveways. In the case of major snow storms, when street parking is prohibited because of snow fall, cars may also be parked over the sidewalk.

The person who received the ticket can attend the hearing date listed on the ticket. For those that cannot attend, submit a written statement to the Police Department prior to the hearing date. The ticket will be reviewed through an Administrative Adjudication Hearing process and a decision will be rendered based on the evidence. You will be notified of the decision by mail. The cost of the ticket will not increase while your complaint is being reviewed.

Traffic enforcement is a very important part of the law enforcement function. There is a direct correlation between the number of traffic tickets issued and the number of traffic accidents that occur. And it is not just the property damage loss we are concerned about. We know that by enforcing Illinois traffic laws we are preventing injury and loss of life. After all, if we did not write tickets, who would?

Where you go depends on the type of ticket that was written:

• District 3 - Rolling Meadows Circuit Court of Cook County (2121 Euclid Ave., Rolling Meadows). All misdemeanor, felony or traffic court hearings are held at the 3^rd District Court in Rolling Meadows.  You can find a map to the courthouse here.
• Streamwood Police Department - Administrative Adjudication Hearings are held at 401 E. Irving Park Rd., Streamwood, Il 60107, the first and third Tuesday of every month at 4:00 pm. Cases heard include citations issued for Local Ordinance Violations.

Please call 911 for an officer to respond and assist you.
