Except when necessary in obedience to traffic regulations or traffic signs or signals, the operator of a vehicle shall not stop, stand or park such vehicle in a roadway other than parallel with the edge of the roadway, headed in the direction of traffic, and with the curb side wheels of the vehicle within twelve inches (12") of the curb or edge of the roadway, except as provided in the following subsections:
A. Designated Angle Parking: Upon those streets which have been designated and marked or signed for angle parking, vehicles shall be parked at the angle to the curb indicated by such marks or signs.
B. Loading Or Unloading Merchandise; Permit Required: In places where, and at hours when, stopping for the loading or unloading of merchandise or materials is permitted, vehicles used for the transportation of merchandise or materials may back into the curb to take on or discharge loads, but not otherwise, when the owner of such vehicle holds a permit granting him such special privilege under section 10-5-12 of this chapter; provided, that such permit shall be either in the possession of the operator or on the vehicle at the time such vehicle is backed against the curb to take on or discharge a load. It is unlawful for any owner or operator to violate any of the special terms or conditions of any such special permit.
(1979 Code § 10.48.040; amd. Ord. 94-60, 11-15-1994)
A. Designation; Mayor Authority: The mayor shall determine, based upon an engineering and traffic investigation, upon what city streets or portions thereof angle parking shall be permitted, having due regard to the width of the street, the nature of the surface thereon, the volume, speed and nature of the traffic, the nature of the neighborhood through which the same travels, the demand for parking space, and available facilities for parking in such neighborhood. Whenever the mayor determines that angle parking shall be permitted upon a given street or portion thereof, he shall designate the same by written order filed with the city recorder and shall cause the same to be marked and signed for angle parking in accordance with the MUTCD.
B. Exceptions: It is specifically provided, however, that the mayor shall have no power or authority to authorize or permit angle parking on any federal aid or state highway. Angle parking upon any federal aid or state highway may be authorized or permitted only by ordinance, and shall not be authorized or permitted unless the Utah department of transportation has determined that the roadway is of sufficient width to permit angle parking without interfering with the free movement of traffic.
(1979 Code § 10.48.050; amd. Ord. 94-60, 11-15-1994)
At any place where parking is limited by time restrictions or where angle parking is authorized under the terms of this title, the city traffic engineer is authorized, when he finds that the demand for parking space and the orderly use thereof requires such action, to cause to be marked and designated upon the curbs and roadways the parking spaces to be used for parking of vehicles. Whenever such parking spaces have been designated and marked as set forth in this section, it is unlawful to park any vehicle in such manner that it occupies or encroaches upon more than one parking space unless such vehicle is of such size that it cannot be parked wholly within one such space.
(1979 Code § 10.48.070; amd. Ord. 94-60, 11-15-1994)
