(A) It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to stop or park a vehicle (except within driveways, parking lots, and pull-offs that are in compliance with city ordinance) in a manner other than with its right-hand side toward and parallel with the edge of pavement, facing the direction of vehicular travel, except for commercial loading and unloading on one-way streets.
(B) No vehicle shall be parked or left standing on any street unless its 2 right wheels are within 6 inches of and parallel with the curb, except that on one-way streets, where parking is permitted on the left side, the 2 left wheels are to be within 6 inches of and parallel with the curb.
(C) No vehicle shall be backed to the curb on any street, except wagons and trucks may do so when loading and unloading provided that this loading and unloading and delivery of property and material shall not consume more than 30 minutes. Such backing of trucks or wagons is prohibited at all times and on all streets in the city where any truck or wagon so backed interferes with the use of the roadway of moving vehicles or buses, or occupies road space within 10 feet of the center line of the street, or blocks sidewalks. The animals attached to a vehicle which has been backed to the curb shall be turned parallel with the curb, in the direction of traffic on the same side of the street.
(D) The director of works may establish diagonal parking at certain places, requiring the parking of vehicles at a certain angle to the curb and within a certain portion of the adjacent roadway. However, diagonal parking shall not be established in the central traffic district or in any place where the roadway space required would be within 10 feet of the center line of any street. The director of works shall designate such places by suitable signs, and shall indicate by markings on the pavement the required angle and the width of the roadway space within which vehicles shall park.
(E) It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to park so that any part of the vehicle shall extend beyond the lines marking the side or the rear of the space assigned for one vehicle.
