(A) Whenever the City Traffic Engineer determines that periods of traffic congestion are likely to result from the holding of public or private assemblages, gatherings or functions, or for other reasons the City Traffic Engineer shall have power and authority to order temporary emergency parking signs to be erected or posted indicating that the operation, parking or standing of vehicles is prohibited on such streets and alleys as the City Traffic Engineer shall direct during the time such temporary signs are in place. The signs shall remain in place so long as such periods of traffic congestion are likely to continue, and the City Traffic Engineer shall cause such signs to be removed promptly thereafter.
(B) When signs authorized by the provisions of this section are in place giving notice thereof, no person shall operate, park or stand any vehicle contrary to the directions and provisions of the signs.
