Time for an IL voice to chime in. The law reads, "any offstreet public or private parking facility." Private parking facility means one of the hundreds of privately owned parking garages in the Chicagoland area, many of which offer free charging with the roughly $20 fee to park there. And the spirit of the law is to protect these spots from being Ice'd. Regarding private drives, I don't think the police would have any jurisdiction to write a ticket there. I mean, if I put up handicap signage and paint a handicap parking space in my driveway, could the police ticket me if I park there without a handicap placard? I think not.
