(A) The provisions of this section prohibiting the stopping and parking of a vehicle shall apply at all times or at those times herein specified or as indicated on official signs except when it is necessary to stop a vehicle to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a police officer or official traffic control devices.
(B) The provisions of this section imposing a time limit on parking shall not relieve any person from his duty to observe other and more restrictive provisions prohibiting or limiting the stopping or parking of vehicles in specific places or at specific times.
(C) When signs are erected in compliance with the provisions of (F) below, giving notice thereof, no person shall park a vehicle at any time on any street so marked by official signs.
(D) When a curb has been painted in compliance with the provisions of (F) below, no person shall park a vehicle at any time at or adjacent to any curb so marked.
(E) When signs are erected in compliance with the provisions of (F) below, in each block giving notice thereof, no person shall park a vehicle between the hours specified by official signs on any day except Sundays on any street so marked.
(F) (1) The City Engineer or Director of Public Works, with the concurrence of the City Mayor, shall determine on what streets or portions thereof stopping or parking shall be restricted or prohibited. Whenever under authority of or by this traffic code, or any other ordinance, any parking limit is imposed or parking is prohibited on designated streets, or parking areas are restricted to handicapped parking, it shall be the duty of the city, acting through designated departments, to erect appropriate signs giving notice thereof. However, in lieu of erecting such signs or in conjunction therewith, the city may cause the face and top of a curb or curbs at or adjacent to which parking is prohibited at all times to be painted a solid yellow color.
(2) No such regulations or restrictions shall be effective unless the signs have been erected and are in place or the curbs are painted yellow at the time of any alleged offense, except in case of those parking restrictions which by their very nature would not require such signs and markings.
(G) When signs are erected in compliance with (F) above, in each block giving notice thereof, no person shall park a vehicle for a time longer than specified on official signs any day except Sunday and on any street so marked.
(H) Any person who violates any of the provisions of this section shall be fined not less than twenty dollars ($20) nor more than one hundred dollars ($100) for each offense. Each during which a violation exists shall constitute a separate offense.
