It shall be unlawful for any person to park or stand a vehicle, whether occupied or unoccupied, except temporarily for the purpose of and while actually loading or unloading such vehicle, in a public driveway or on any public parking lot or other public property without the express or implied consent of the representative of the public property or person in lawful control thereof. In the event the identity of the driver of such vehicle is unknown, the owner or person in whose name such vehicle is registered shall be prima facie deemed to be in violation hereof.
(b) Exception to subsection (a). No citation issued under the provisions of subsection (a) above shall be valid unless such citation includes a statement to the effect that at the time same was issued, a clearly visible sign was located on the public property involved, informing the public that such public driveway, parking lot or other public property is reserved for the use of authorized persons or vehicles only, and further that such sign states the persons or vehicles authorized.
