(b) Whenever such an emergency exists, the owners and operators of motor vehicles shall have full responsibility to determine existing weather conditions and to comply with the emergency parking regulations contained herein. As an aid to the owners and operators of motor vehicles, the Director of Public Safety shall request the cooperation of the local press and radio and television stations to announce the emergency and the time that emergency parking regulations will become effective, which time shall be no sooner than one hour after the first announcement. Such announcement by the local press or a local radio or television station shall constitute notice to the general public of the existence of an emergency.
(c) During the period of such emergency the Director of Public Safety may prohibit the parking of any vehicles upon any City street or right-of-way. During such emergency no person shall park, or cause or permit to be parked, or permit to remain parked, or abandon or leave unattended, any vehicle of any kind upon the streets or rights-of-way. However, vehicles may be parked for a period of not longer than three minutes for actual loading or unloading of property if no other ordinance restricting parking as to place or time is violated thereby.
