Whenever the Mayor of the city or the Municipal Services Director shall find, on the basis of falling snow, sleet or freezing rain or on the basis of an official forecast by the U.S. Weather Bureau of snow, sleet or freezing rain, that weather conditions will make it necessary that motor vehicle traffic be expedited and that parking on city snow emergency routes be prohibited or restricted for snow plowing and other purposes, the Mayor or the Municipal Services Director may place into effect a parking prohibition on all snow emergency routes by declaring that emergency conditions exist. In such declaration of emergency conditions, the Mayor or Municipal Services Director shall state the time that said emergency shall be in effect and from the time so designated, all parking of vehicles on snow emergency routes shall be prohibited. While the prohibition is in effect, no person shall park or allow to remain parked any vehicle on any portion of a snow emergency route. Once in effect, the parking prohibition imposed under this section shall remain in effect until terminated by declaration of the Mayor or Municipal Services Director. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to permit parking at any time or place where it is forbidden by any other provision of law.
