(A) Standing or parking close to curb. Every vehicle standing or parked on a street where there are curbs shall be faced in the direction of travel on that side of the street with the curb side wheels of the vehicle parallel to and within 12 inches of the curb.
(Prior Code, § 74.01)
(B) Signs or markings indicating angle parking. The Board shall determine on what streets angle parking shall be permitted and shall mark or sign such streets. Angle parking shall not be indicated upon any federal-aid or state highway within the city, unless the State Department of Transportation has determined by resolution entered in its minutes that the roadway is of sufficient width to permit angle parking without interfering with the free movement of traffic.
(Prior Code, § 74.02)
(C) Obedience to angle parking signs or markings. On those streets which have been signed or marked for angle parking, no vehicle shall be parked or stood other than at the angle to the curb or edge of the roadway indicated by the signs or markings.

(D) Removal of obstructing vehicles.
(1) The City Police Department or the City Fire Department may authorize the removal of any vehicle or other object which may, in the discretion and judgment of a properly authorized officer, constitute an immediate hazard by way of its placement. The owner of such vehicle or object shall be promptly notified of its removal, the method of removal, and the location of the vehicle or object. The owner of the vehicle or other object shall be responsible for any towing, removal, storage or other charges and fees associated with the removal unless such removal is required by an emergency of which the owner had no knowledge in which case the city shall pay such charges and fees.
(2) The city, its officers, agents and employees shall not incur any civil liability for damages incurred as a result of such removal. The removal of any vehicle or object shall not relieve the owner from liability for any fine due to the placement of said vehicle or object prior to its removal.
(3) It is the duty and responsibility of any private property owner to remove any items, including motor vehicles, parked or left in designated disability parking spaces or fire lanes. Such property owners are authorized to tow and remove offending vehicles or other objects from disability parking spaces or fire lanes and charge the owner of such vehicle or other item any fees or charges related to the towing or removal. Such towing or removal shall not relieve the owner of the vehicle or other item from any fine assessable as a result of being parked unlawfully in a disability parking space or fire lane.
(4) It is the responsibility of a private property owner to properly post any and all signs required by law to be posted on such private property relating to restricted parking or traffic control.
