(A) Findings. The City Council finds that public and private school sites experience significant traffic congestion at opening and closing times as parents drop off and pick up children for school. The City Council further finds that the parking of motorized vending trucks on public streets when schools are opening and closing further exacerbates traffic problems and create safety issues for children trying to access the peddlers and vendors. This section is therefore necessary to protect health and safety.
(B) Prohibited. No person shall stop, stand, or park a motorized vehicle trailer or stand, or other device, on any street, alley, or parkway for the purpose of distributing or selling food, services, or merchandise within 300 feet of the property line of any public or private school within the 30 minutes prior to classes convening and within 30 minutes after classes end for the day.
(C) Exception. The above prohibition shall not apply to any vendor or peddler who has received written consent of the school principal or other authorized school official to park, stop or stand for the purpose of vending when such authorization does not interfere with public vehicle traffic or pose a traffic safety hazard to school children. Any such written authorization shall be kept and maintained with the vendor at all times for inspection.
