Oak Park rules for moving trucks, trailers and containers.
Key rule: In Oak Park, street parking is generally banned from 2:30 to 6 a.m. every night, so a moving truck that must stay on the street overnight needs a pass, which the village suggests requesting a week before the move.
In Oak Park, parking is generally prohibited on all streets from 2:30 to 6 a.m., year-round, unless a permit or overnight pass allows it, and a mover's truck follows the same posted rules as any other vehicle. On permit-only or metered streets, holding space for the truck or a storage POD takes a Right of Way (ROW) Obstruction Permit, applied for at least a week ahead, with the holder renting and placing cones or barricades. After two or more inches of snow, snow routes must be cleared of parked cars and other streets switch to odd/even daytime parking.
