(A) Any other provision to the contrary notwithstanding, a motor vehicle bearing a decal in its front windshield issued by the County Clerk pursuant to appropriate county ordinances for disabled persons, when operated by a disabled person or when transporting a disabled person, may be parked in a designated disabled parking place, or when parked in a metered parking space, may be parked for two hours for no fee, or when parked where any parking limit is imposed, may be parked for two hours in excess of the parking limit. The motor vehicle may be parked in a loading zone for that period of time necessary to permit entrance or exit of the disabled person to or from the parked vehicle, but in no circumstances longer than 30 minutes.
(B) This section shall not permit parking in a “no stopping” or a “no parking” zone nor where parking is prohibited for the purpose of creating a fire lane or to accommodate heavy traffic during morning, afternoon, or evening hours, nor to permit a motor vehicle to be parked in such a manner as to constitute a traffic hazard.
(C) The owner, occupant, or operator of any facility whose parking lot contains a disabled parking space shall report violations of this section to the Fulton Police Department which shall, upon such reports or upon their own observation, issue appropriate citations. Any vehicle in violation shall be withdrawn from that parking space and transported to any local garage, service station, or detaining facility. An owner or driver may redeem his or her vehicle by paying towing and storage charges as well as a city penalty as described in this section.
