After the effective time of such prohibition no person shall park any vehicle or permit any vehicle to remain parked on a snow emergency route.

The prohibition of parking announced by the Chief of Police or other authorized city official under the authority of this section shall remain in effect until he or she announces the termination of the snow emergency, in part or in which the prohibition of parking authorized by this section shall no longer be in effect.
