A.
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such
that it covers the streets or highways, an emergency shall exist and no vehicle
shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions thereof indicated.
The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased
until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking
will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.
B.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation
shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation
of traffic, and any police officer may provide for the removal of such vehicle.
The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and storage which
may result from such removal before regaining possession of the vehicle.

A.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall be
no parking upon streets or sections of streets where temporary EMERGENCY NO
PARKING signs are displayed. The Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking
police officer is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct the posting
of EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs when weather conditions, accidents, road construction,
fire or public celebrations dictate or require avoidance of hazards or other
conditions which interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification that
EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs are being or will be posted shall be given the
operator or owner of any vehicle which has been parked prior to the posting
of the signs.
B.
The effectiveness of this subsection is contingent upon
the signs being erected as required by law.
