(A) The provisions of this section prohibiting the stopping and parking of a vehicle shall apply at all times or at those times herein specified or as indicated on official signs, except when it is necessary to stop a vehicle to avoid conflict with other traffic, or in compliance with the directions of a police officer or official traffic-control devices.
(B) The provisions of this section imposing a time limit on parking shall not relieve any person from his or her duty to observe other and more restrictive provisions prohibiting or limiting the stopping or parking of vehicles in specific places or at specified times.
(C) When signs are erected in compliance with the provisions of this section below giving notice thereof, no person shall park a vehicle at any time on any street so marked by official signs.
(D) When a curb has been painted in compliance with the provisions of divisions (F) below, no person shall park a vehicle at any time at or adjacent to any curb so marked.
(E) When signs are erected in compliance with the provisions of divisions (F) below, in each block giving notice thereof, no person shall park a vehicle on the specified day and/or time on any street so marked.
(F) (1) The Chief of Police or the City Administrator shall determine on what streets or portions thereof stopping or parking shall be restricted or prohibited. Whenever under authority of or by this traffic code or any other ordinance, any parking limit is imposed or parking is prohibited on designated streets, or parking areas are restricted to parking for persons with disabilities, it shall be the duty of the Public Works Department to erect appropriate signs giving notice thereof. However, in lieu of erecting such signs or in conjunction therewith, the Public Works Department may cause the face and top of a curb or curbs, at or adjacent to which parking is prohibited at all times, to be painted a solid yellow color or the appropriate color for designated handicapped parking.
(2) No such regulations or restrictions shall be effective unless the signs have been erected and are in place, or the curbs are painted yellow, at the time of any alleged offense, except in the case of those parking restrictions that by their very nature would not require such signs and markings.
(G) When signs are erected in compliance with this chapter, no person shall park a vehicle for a time longer than specified on official signs any day and on any street so marked.
