The council is authorized to determine by resolution upon what streets angle parking shall be permitted and to indicate such places by painting lines upon the surface of the roadway to indicate the proper angle for parking. (Prior code § 10.04.190)

The council may from time to time limit or restrict the driving, stopping, standing or parking of vehicles upon any public street, city parking lot or public area in the city. Such limitation or restriction shall be effectuated by resolution of the council specifying the streets, lots and public areas and limitations or restrictions on driving, standing, stopping or parking therein, followed by proper signposting of the street, lot or public area.
