(A) Every vehicle parked upon any street with a curb shall be parked parallel to the right-hand curb and with the right-hand wheels of the vehicle within 12 inches of the curb, except on streets where angle parking is required and designated. On any street, every vehicle parked shall be parked with the vehicle facing the curb or away from the traveled portion of the street at an angle of approximately 45 degrees from the direction of travel on the adjacent traffic lane and aligned between the painted marking on the street or curb indicating the parked space. No vehicle longer than a standard manufactured passenger vehicle or longer than a manufactured light-duty pickup truck or van rated at one ton or less and no vehicle with a trailer attached shall be parked in any angle parking or space. On any street without a curb, every vehicle shall be parked to the right of the main traveled portion thereof and parallel thereto facing the direction of travel in the adjacent traffic lane in such a manner as not to interfere with the free flow of traffic.
(B) No person shall park a vehicle and let it stand, whether attended or unattended, upon any street in the city for longer than 24 hours.
(C) No person shall park a vehicle and let it stand, whether attended or unattended, upon any street in the city at a distance of less than 25 feet from the intersection of street curbs or at any other distance from intersection curbs; providing that, such a distance is approved by the City Council and appropriately posted and marked; nor shall any person park a vehicle where the curb is painted yellow or appropriately marked to indicate no parking.
(D) No person shall place or leave any property or other article, except a vehicle, as herein defined, on any street in the city at any time.
(E) No person shall park or let stand, whether attended or unattended, any vehicle upon the streets in the city for a longer period of time than that is posted or appropriately marked; provided, however, that, such time limitations, postings and markings have been approved by the City Council. This section, however, shall not prevent the city’s Police Department from regulating and enforcing emergency parking situations.
(F) No person shall park a vehicle or let it stand, whether attended or unattended, so that any portion thereof shall project and extend over the boundary line of any private or public driveway extended at right angles from the curb line intersected by the driveway. No person shall park a vehicle where it blocks or partially blocks any sidewalk or pathway designated for walking or bicycle use.
(G) The regulations and limitations contained in this subchapter shall not be construed as a change to those laws provided in the state’s Uniform Traffic Code, but shall provide regulation in addition to those contained in the Act.
(H) Any vehicle parked on any street in the city during the hours in which lights are required by state law shall be equipped with lighted parking lights or reflectors, both front and rear, of a type approved by the Commissioner of Public Safety.
