Whenever the City Manager, Public Works Director, or Police Chief shall find, on the basis of falling snow, accumulated snow, sleet, or freezing rain, or on the basis of an official forecast by the National Weather Service of snow, snow accumulation, sleet, or freezing rain, that weather conditions will make it necessary that motor vehicle traffic be expedited and that parking on city snow emergency routes be prohibited or restricted for snow plowing and other purposes, the City Manager, Public Works Director, or Police Chief may put into effect a parking prohibition on any or all snow emergency routes by declaring that emergency conditions exist and that all parking on said streets so designated shall be prohibited. In such declaration of emergency conditions, the City Manager, Public Works Director, or Police Chief shall state the time that said emergency shall be in effect and from the time so designated, all parking of motor vehicles on snow emergency routes so designated shall be prohibited. While the prohibition is in effect, no person shall allow any motor vehicle to remain parked on any portion of a snow emergency route. The parking prohibition imposed under this section shall remain in effect until terminated by declaration of the City Manager, Public Works Director, or Police Chief. Nothing in this section shall be construed to permit parking at any time or place when or where it is prohibited by any other provision of law.
