being or will be posted shall be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle
which has been parked prior to the posting of the signs.

shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation
of traffic, and any peace officer may provide for the removal of such vehicle.
The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and storage which

supplement thereto shall be liable to a penalty of not more than $50 or imprisonment
for a term not exceeding 15 days, or both.
