(C) The city may establish diagonal parking at certain places, requiring the parking of vehicles at a certain angle to the curb and within a certain portion of the roadway adjacent thereto. However, diagonal parking shall not be established where the roadway space required would be within ten (10) feet of the center line of any street. Such diagonal parking places shall be designated by suitable signs, and shall indicate by markings on the pavement the required angle and the width of the roadway space within which such vehicle shall park.
(D) It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to so park such vehicle that any part thereof shall extend beyond the lines marking the side or the rear of the space assigned for one (1) vehicle.
Penalty, see § 72.999

However, in lieu of erecting such signs, a prohibited, limited or restrictive zone may be marked by yellow paint marks as described in division (A) (9) of this section above.
(2) No such prohibitions, limitations, regulations or restrictions shall be effective unless the signs have been erected and are in place or the prohibited, limited or restrictive zone is painted yellow at the time of any alleged offense, except in the case of those parking restrictions which by their very nature would not require such signs and markings.
(F) The city shall have the authority to designate on streets, alleys, city parking lots, city building, city parks and recreational areas or other city property or facilities or portions thereof parking which is restricted to limited use for a particular city building, city parks and recreational areas or other city facilities and/or set time limits for parking therefore and the violation of an limited use or time designation shall be unlawful.
