No person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle upon a street, other than an alley, in such a manner or under such conditions as to leave available less than ten feet of the width of the roadway for free movement of vehicular traffic, except that a driver may stop temporarily during the actual loading or unloading of passengers or when directed to by a police officer or traffic control signal.

Upon any street or highway outside a business or residence district, no person shall stop, park or leave standing any vehicle, whether attended or unattended, upon the paved or main traveled part of the street or highway if it is practicable to stop, park or so leave such vehicle off the paved or main traveled part of such street or highway. In every event, a clear and unobstructed portion of the street or highway opposite such standing vehicle shall be left for the free passage of other vehicles, and a clear view of such stopped vehicle shall be available from a distance of 200 feet in each direction upon such street or highway.
This section does not apply to the driver of any vehicle which is disabled while on the paved or improved or main traveled portion of a street or highway in such manner and to such extent that it is impossible to avoid stopping and temporarily leaving the disabled vehicle in such position.

(b) The Safety Service Director or Chief of Police shall announce the existence of each emergency. Such declaration shall be made through public announcement (i.e. local press, city website, police department website). Such emergency shall continue until an announcement by the Safety Service Director or Chief of Police by public announcement that the emergency is terminated.

However, vehicles may be parked for a period of not longer than five (5) minutes for the actual loading or unloading of passengers or sixty (60) minutes for the actual loading or unloading of property or goods, provided that the operator of such vehicle is immediately available, and provided further that no other section of this chapter or ordinance of the City restricting parking as to the time or place is violated.
(f) Starting, with one hour after the public announcement and until the period of emergency has passed, any motor vehicle parked in violation of this section may be towed away, in addition to any penalty provided for a violation of this section.

(Ord. 102-71. Passed 9-7-71.)
For the purposes of this section, "junk motor vehicle" means any motor vehicle meeting the requirements of Ohio R.C. 4513.63(B) to (E) that is left uncovered in the open on private property for more than seventy-two hours with the permission of the person having the right to the possession of the property, except if the person is operating a junk yard or scrap metal processing facility licensed under authority of Ohio R. C. 4737.05 to 4737.12; or regulated under authority of the Municipality; or if the property on which the motor vehicle is left is not subject to licensure or regulation by any governmental authority, unless the person having the right to the possession of the property can establish that the motor vehicle is part of a bona-fide commercial operation; or if the motor vehicle is a collector's vehicle.
Persons may store or keep by unrestricted method any collector's vehicle as defined in Ohio R.C. 4501.01(F) on private property with the permission of the person having the right to the possession of the property; except that such person having such permission shall conceal, by means of buildings, fences, vegetation, terrain or other suitable obstruction, any unlicensed collector's vehicle stored in the open.
The Fire Prevention Officer and the Health Inspector may send notice by certified mail with return receipt requested, to the person having the right to the possession of the property on which a junk motor vehicle is left, that within ten days of receipt of the notice, the junk motor vehicle either shall be covered by being housed in a garage or other suitable structure or shall be removed from the property.
No person shall willfully leave a junk motor vehicle uncovered in the open for more than ten days after receipt of a notice as provided in this section. The fact that a junk motor vehicle is so left is prima-facie evidence of willful failure to comply with the notice. Each subsequent period of thirty days that a junk motor vehicle continues to be so left constitutes a separate offense.
Any junk motor vehicle parked or stored in violation of this section may be removed to a motor vehicle pound or other place of storage by any police officer or the Fire Prevention Officer and shall not be released except upon payment of towing and storage charges. Vehicles so removed may be disposed of according to provisions of Ohio R.C. 737.32.
Under all circumstances City zoning regulations shall take precedence.
Whoever violates any provision of this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor on a first offense; a misdemeanor of the fourth degree on a second offense and a misdemeanor of the third degree on each subsequent offense.
