(WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- Consider this a winter word of warning: The overnight parking ban on 107 miles of main streets in Chicago takes effect Friday Dec. 1.
Parking is prohibited on main streets, regardless of snowfall, between 3 and 7 a.m. through April 1.
The Department of Streets and Sanitation says it's supposed to keep streets clear so that snowplows can remove snow and ice.
Violators are towed. Despite the advance warning, hundreds of Chicagoans make their way to car impound lots to retrieve their cars on the first day of the parking ban.
