A. Whenever parallel parking is required on a highway or portion thereof as provided in section 22502(a) of the Vehicle Code, the city council authorizes the traffic engineer to place white lines consistent with the provisions of section 22502(a) of the Vehicle Code parallel to and/or at right angle to the curb or edge of the highway when a traffic engineering investigation indicates that such white lines would facilitate the parking of vehicles or alleviate a hazardous condition. When such white lines have been placed no person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle outside of the rectangular space indicated, by such lines and the curb or the edge of the highway. The traffic engineer may prohibit stopping, standing or parking in connection with any parallel parking plan or layout as provided in subsection 10.40.070A5 of this chapter.
B. Whenever the traffic engineer upon the basis of a traffic engineering investigation finds that the conditions, because of which parallel white lines were placed as provided in subsection A of this section, no longer exist, the traffic engineer shall obliterate such white lines from such highway or portion thereof. (Prior code § 67902)
