It shall be unlawful for any person to drive a vehicle over any sidewalk area and through any driveway, parking lot or business entrance at any intersection, in making either a right or left turn, except for the purpose of coming to a complete stop to obtain or render some service or make a sale or purchase.
b. It is the intention of this section to prohibit “corner cutting” by driving a vehicle from one street into another across any sidewalk and/or driveway and/or through any driveway.
