Whenever authorized signs are erected indicating that any street or part thereof is a play street, no person shall drive a vehicle upon any such street or portion thereof except drivers of vehicles having business or whose residences are within the closed area and then the drivers shall exercise the greatest care in driving upon any such street or portion thereof.
No person riding upon any coaster, roller skates, sled, toy vehicle or other similar device shall go upon any roadway except while crossing a street on a crosswalk, and when so crossing the person shall be granted all of the rights and shall be subject to all of the duties applicable to pedestrians. This section shall not apply to any street set aside as a play street.
(a) No person, unless otherwise directed by a police officer, shall:
(1) As a pedestrian, occupy any space within the limits of the right-of-way of a freeway, except: in a rest area; on a facility that is separated from the roadway and shoulders of the freeway and is designed and appropriately marked for pedestrian use; in the performance of public works or official duties; as a result of an emergency caused by an accident or breakdown of a motor vehicle; or to obtain assistance; and
(2) Occupy any space within the limits of the right-of-way of a freeway, with: an animal-drawn vehicle; a ridden or led animal; herded animals; a pushcart; a bicycle, except on a facility that is separated from the roadway and shoulders of the freeway and is designed and appropriately marked for bicycle use; an electric bicycle; a bicycle with motor attached; a motor-driven cycle with a motor which produces not to exceed five brake horsepower; an agricultural tractor; farm machinery; except in the performance of public works or official duties.
(b) Except as otherwise provided in this division (b), whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of or pleaded guilty to one predicate motor vehicle or traffic offense, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree. If, within one year of the offense, the offender previously has been convicted of two or more predicate motor vehicle or traffic offenses, whoever violates this section is guilty of a misdemeanor of the third degree.
(c) If the offender commits the offense while distracted and the distracting activity is a contributing factor to the commission of the offense, the offender is subject to the additional fine established under R.C. § 4511.991(B).
(R.C. § 4511.051)
(a) No organization or group of persons shall parade upon the streets or block off any street area without first obtaining a permit from the Director of Public Safety or his or her authorized representative.
(b) The permit shall designate the route over which the parade shall be permitted or the area to be blocked off.
(c) Applications for such permits shall be made on such forms as may be prescribed and shall contain such information as is reasonably necessary to a fair determination of whether or not a permit should be issued. Applications shall be filed not less than five days before the time intended for such parade, procession or assemblage.
(d) The permit or any order accompanying it may limit or prescribe reasonable conditions, including the hours, the places of assembly and of dispersal, the route of march or travel and the streets, highways or portions thereof which may be used or occupied.
(e) The permit may be refused or cancelled if:
(1) The resultant conditions would unreasonably hinder the movement of traffic;
(2) The resultant conditions would require the diversion of sufficient police officers or firefighters so as to deprive the city of normal police and fire protection;
(3) The resultant conditions would be reasonably likely to provoke disorderly conduct, create a disturbance or threaten the safety of residents, by reason of the number of persons to participate in such parade, the nature or subject matter of the parade, the area in which the parade will proceed or be located, and all other relevant factors;
(4) The parade route of march or assembly areas would unreasonably interfere with the movement of police vehicles, firefighting equipment or ambulance service to other areas of the city;
(5) The information contained in the application is found to be false, misleading or incomplete in any material detail; and
(6) An emergency such as a fire or storm would prevent the proper conduct of the parade.
