(4) Parking unrestricted. Parking shall be unrestricted on those streets so designated as unrestricted on the parking control map, and except as otherwise provided in this article.

(D) The chief police officer shall determine on what streets or portions of streets stopping or parking shall be restricted or prohibited.

(2) When signs are erected in compliance with the provisions of this article, in each block giving notice, no person shall park a vehicle between the hours specified by official signs on any day, except Sundays on any street so marked.
