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)

The mayor, or the mayor's designee, is authorized to issue to any owner of a vehicle used to transport merchandise or materials a special permit, for a term not exceeding one year, and to state therein the terms and conditions thereof, allowing the operator of such vehicle the privilege of loading and unloading while the vehicle is backed against the curb, if, in the opinion of the mayor, or the mayor's designee, such privilege is reasonably necessary in the conduct of the owner's business and will not seriously interfere with traffic or endanger life or property.
(1979 Code § 10.48.060; amd. Ord. 94-60, 11-15-1994)

(1979 Code § 10.48.100; amd. Ord. 94-60, 11-15-1994)
A. Streets: It is unlawful for any operator to stop, stand or park any vehicle upon a street, other than an alley, in such manner or under such conditions as to leave available less than ten feet (10') of the width of the roadway for the movement of vehicular traffic, except that an operator may stop temporarily during the actual loading or unloading of passengers or when necessary in obedience to traffic regulations or traffic signs or signals or a police officer.

Alleys: It is unlawful for any operator to park a vehicle within an alley in such a manner or under such conditions as to have available less than ten feet (10') of the width of the roadway for the free movement of vehicular traffic.
