      (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.
