10.28.150   Authority to prohibit or restrict parking.
   A.   The city council may by ordinance or resolution prohibit or restrict the parking or standing of vehicles on any street or highway within the city, or any portion thereof during all or certain hours of the day; provided, however, that such regulations, insofar as they apply to state highways, shall not be effective until they have been submitted to and approved in writing by the Department of Public Works.
   B.   With the exception of alleys, the prohibitions or restrictions contained in such ordinance or resolution shall not apply until signs or curb markings giving adequate notice thereof have been placed. The director of public works is authorized to determine the dimensions, design and location of, and shall place, such signs or markings.
   C.   When authorized signs or curb markings have been placed by the director of public works, no operator of any vehicle shall stop, stand or park such vehicle adjacent to any such legible sign, curb marking or parking meter in violation thereof.
   D.   The specification of particular time limits for parking in this chapter shall not prevent the council from adopting other time limits for certain streets or highways by resolution.
(Ord. 84-09-935 § 1 (part): prior code § 11.36.010 (Ord. 581 § 11, 1965))
10.28.160   Green curb marking.
   Unless otherwise posted with authorized signs, green curb marking shall mean no stopping, standing or parking for a period of time longer than twenty minutes at any time on any day except Sundays and holidays. If signs are posted, the green curb marking shall mean no stopping, standing or parking for the period of time specified by the signs.
(Ord. 84-09-935 § 1 (part): prior code § 11.36.020 (Ord. 581 § 11.1, 1965))
10.28.170   One-hour parking.
   When authorized signs have been determined by the public works director to be necessary and are in place giving notice thereof, no operator of any vehicle shall stop, stand or park such vehicle for a period of time longer than one hour between the hours of seven a.m. and five p.m. of any day except Sundays and holidays.
(Ord. 84-09-935 § 1 (part): prior code § 11.36.030 (Ord. 581 § 11.2, 1965))

10.28.190   Parallel parking on one-way streets.
   A.   Subject to other and more restrictive limitations, a vehicle may be stopped or parked within eighteen inches of the left-hand curb facing in the direction of traffic movement upon any one-way street unless signs are in place prohibiting such stopping or standing.
   B.   In the event a highway includes two or more separate roadways and traffic is restricted to one direction upon any such roadway, no person shall stand or park a vehicle upon the left-hand side of such one-way roadway unless signs are in place permitting such standing or parking.
   C.   The public works director is authorized to determine when standing or parking shall be prohibited upon the left-hand side of any one-way street or when standing or parking may be permitted upon the left-hand side on any one-way roadway of a highway having two or more separate roadways and shall erect signs giving notice thereof.
   D.   The requirement of parallel parking imposed by this section shall not apply in the event any commercial vehicle is actually engaged in the process of loading or unloading freight or goods, in which case such vehicle may be backed up to the curb, provided that such vehicle does not extend beyond the centerline of the street and does not block traffic thereby.
(Prior code § 11.36.050 (Ord. 581 § 11.4, 1965))
