About downtown street temporary pullover? -

I am going to downtown to pick up my friend there tomorrow. Just wondered if I can temporarily pull over my car in the street, and sit in the car waiting for about 5 minutes until my friend gets out of the bldg.Will the cop bother and give me a ticket?Thanks a lot! New to Chicago.

doubtful. your pickup should be waiting for you. you might have to circle the block.

It depends on the street but you will probably be obstructing a lane of traffic. You may get a warning or may go unnoticed. If you both have cell phones have him call when he is outside. Don t answer it as it is illegal to talk drive,
