Illinois-Specific Signs
Built to meet Illinois requirements.
Illinois Accessible Parking Sign Requirements
Illinois follows the federal ADA Standards for accessible parking, enforced alongside the state's own vehicle code and private-property towing law. Here is what every Illinois lot needs to post.
Every accessible parking space must display the federal "Reserved Parking" sign (MUTCD R7-8) showing the International Symbol of Accessibility. Van-accessible spaces need an added "Van Accessible" plaque, and the bottom of each sign must sit at least 60 inches (5 feet) above the ground so it stays visible above a parked vehicle.
Tow-away enforcement
To tow an unauthorized vehicle from private property in Illinois, the lot must post a compliant tow-away sign at each entrance under the Illinois Vehicle Code (625 ILCS 5/4-203), typically including the towing company name and phone number. Missing or non-compliant signage can void the tow.
