      (1)   The Chief of Police shall determine upon what streets angle parking shall be permitted and shall mark or sign such streets, but such angle parking shall not be indicated upon any federal aid or state highway within this city unless the Commonwealth Department of Highways has determined that the roadway is of sufficient width to permit angle parking without interfering with the free movement of traffic.
