§ 72.01 NO-PARKING ZONES.
   (A)   It shall be unlawful for the operator or the registered owner of a vehicle to park, or permit the parking of, a vehicle in opposition to the direction of travel on the side of the street on which the vehicle is parked, or a distance of more than 12 inches from the curb, or in any of the following places, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the direction of a police officer or traffic sign or signal:
      (1)   In any marked no-parking zone;
      (2)   In any crosswalk;
      (3)   At or within 20 feet of any intersection;
      (4)   Within 50 feet of a traffic signal;
      (5)   At any place where the standing of the vehicle will reduce the usable width of the roadway for moving traffic to less than 18 feet;
      (6)   At any curb within 15 feet of a fire hydrant or mailbox;
      (7)   At any place where the standing of any vehicle will block the use of any driveway; and
      (8)   In those specific locations identified in Chapter 74, Schedule II.
   (B)   Citations for violation of this section and §§ 70.30, 71.01, 72.02, and Chapter 74, Schedules I, III and IV, may be issued in the following manner: The Police Department of the Village of Kirkland or civilian personnel designated by the Village President shall enforce the parking ordinances. If a violation of any of the parking ordinances is observed, a parking citation shall be written and placed upon the front windshield of the vehicle.
   (C)   The fact that a vehicle which is parked illegally is registered in the name of a person shall be considered prima facie proof that that person was in control of the vehicle at the time of the violation, and it shall not be a defense that the vehicle was, at the time of the violation, in the control of a family member of the registered owner or that the registered owner had loaned or leased the vehicle to another. This presumption is intended to be used for all parking violations under each and every ordinance of the Village of Kirkland.
