(c) Each parking space within any parking lot and the location and direction of movement along driveways providing access thereto shall be indicated by painting on the surface and by raised directional signs, markers or other similar signals placed upon the surface.
(1) Directional markings, either on pavement or pole mounted and wheel stops by poles or curbing, shall be maintained in good condition and located so as to give reasonable notice to pedestrians and motor vehicle operators with respect to the flow of pedestrian and vehicular traffic upon such parking lots and driveways.
(2) All signs, markers or other methods used to indicate the direction of traffic movement and the location of parking spaces shall be maintained in a neat and legible condition.
(d) Parking lots or driveways available and open to the public shall have a system of floodlighting installed and maintained to provide adequate standards of illumination during darkness over the parking lot or driveway area until 12:00 midnight or until one hour after closing of the adjacent or abutting businesses, and such lighting shall be shielded so that minimum glare will extend to or impose upon the users of adjacent property.
(e) Parking lots and driveways and adjacent sidewalks and curbing shall be maintained free from loose particles and debris, and snow shall be promptly plowed or moved and ice promptly removed by the owner, operator or lessee to insure the safe use of such areas by pedestrians and/or operators of motor vehicles upon such parking lot, driveway and adjacent sidewalks and curbing.
