(a)
It shall be a violation for any person to stop, stand or park a vehicle
in any area designated as a place for handicapped parking as defined
by this section or the Vehicle and Traffic Laws of the State of New
York, unless the vehicle bears a permit issued by the city authorizing
parking in areas designated within the city as a place for parking
for handicapped persons or a registration issued by the State of New
York under Section 404-a of Vehicle and Traffic Law and such vehicle
is being used for the transportation of a severely disabled or handicapped
person.
(b)
Permits for parking in handicapped spaces shall be issued by the
city clerk of the City of Olean or such other agent as may be designated
by the common council of the city to make such certification and shall
be issued to:
(1)
Any resident of New York State who is a severely disabled person
as hereinafter defined upon application of such person or such person's
parent or guardian; or
(2)
Any facility or agency licensed by the State of New York that
operates a motor vehicle for the purpose of transporting handicapped
persons upon the application of such facility or agency.
|
For the purposes of paragraph (a) of this section, such permit
shall be for the use exclusively of a vehicle in which the person
to whom it has been issued is being transported and such permit shall
not be transferable and shall be forfeited if utilized by any other
person. Any abuse by any person, facility or agency to whom such permit
has been issued of any privilege, benefit, precedence or consideration
granted pursuant to the issuance of such permit shall be sufficient
cause for revocation of said permit.
|

Parking in violation of this law shall be subject to a penalty of
$25 for the first offense, and $50 to $100 for the second offense
occurring within a two-year period within the city.

[Code 1971, § 28-88]
It shall be unlawful for any person to stand or park a vehicle
other than a bus in a bus stop or other than a taxicab in a taxicab
stand when any such bus stop or taxicab stand has been officially
designated and appropriately signed, except in an emergency or in
compliance with directions of a police officer or traffic control
device.
[Code 1971, § 28-86]
(a)
Nothing in this Code or the ordinance adopting this Code shall be
deemed to affect the validity of any ordinance designating bus stops,
and all such ordinances are hereby recognized as continuing in full
force and effect to the same extent as if set out in full in this
Code.
(b)
Whenever any ordinance of this city designates a bus stop, it shall
be the duty of the director of public works to place and maintain
appropriate signs designating the limits of such stand. Except in
an emergency, no driver of a bus shall park or stand any bus on any
street at any place other than a bus stop for the purpose of this
section.
[Code 1971, § 28-87]
It shall be unlawful for any driver of a taxicab to park or
stand any taxicab at any place other than an officially designated
taxicab stand, except that this provision shall not prevent the driver
of any such vehicle from temporarily stopping in accordance with other
stopping or parking regulations at any place for the purpose of and
while actually engaged in loading or unloading passengers.
[Code 1971, § 28-89; Res. No. 135-94, 1-10-1995;
Res. No. 45-09, 5-12-2009]
(a)
[1]It shall be unlawful and contrary to the provisions of this section to park any vehicle upon the subway of any public street in the city, as defined in § 1-2, if such subway is not covered/finished with blacktop or concrete.
[1]
(Except in areas designated R1, R2 and R3, parking on the
subway is permitted in the City of Olean. The purpose of this amendment
is to require that the subway be finished with blacktop or concrete
if vehicles are to be parked on it.)
(b)
It shall be unlawful and contrary to the provisions of this section to park any vehicle upon the subway of any public street in the city, as defined in § 1-2, in those areas of the city designated on the official zoning map as R1, R2 and R3. Parking on the subway shall be prohibited in all other areas of the city where such parking obstructs the public right-of-way.
(c)
The prohibitions specified in this section shall not apply on the
nights that street sweeping is being carried on in that particular
part of the city, nor during snow and ice removal as provided in this
Code.
(d)
Any violation of this section shall be prosecuted in city court and
shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed $25.
[Code 1971, § 28-90]
(a)
It shall be unlawful for any person to park, stand, store, or leave
a motor vehicle upon any publicly or privately owned premises or property,
parking areas, or parking lots, without the consent and permission
of the owner or lessee of such premises.
(b)
To effectuate the prohibition on such premises as described in subsection (a) of this section, a conspicuous sign shall be posted at the entrances to such parking lot or parking area informing the public as to the permitted conditions of parking thereon. A sign as described in this section shall be deemed substantial compliance with this section:
|
PARKING RESTRICTED (six inches)
|
|---|
|
EXCEPT FOR (LIST PERSONS OR CONDITIONS PERMITTED) ONLY
|
|
(four inches)
|
|
ALL OTHERS KEEP OUT (six inches)
|
|
UNDER PENALTY OF LAW (two inches)
|
|
VIOLATION—Sec. 24-118 of CODE OF ORDINANCES
|
|
POLICE ENFORCEMENT (two inches)
|
(c)
Such sign shall be no more than three feet high by four feet wide.
The words "police enforcement" and "under penalty of law" on such
signs shall be construed, among other things, to mean a request by
the owner or lessee that the police or special patrolmen shall enforce
the provisions of this section against persons parking, standing,
storing, or leaving vehicles on such premises without the consent
of the owner or lessee, and that the police are authorized to enter
upon such premises to enforce the provisions of this division. Such
sign shall state the conditions of parking or the persons authorized
by the owner or lessee to use such premises for parking, or both.
Persons not included within such authorization or violating the regulations
and conditions set out on such sign shall be deemed to be using such
premises unlawfully without the authority and consent of the owner
or lessee. This section may be enforced by the police or special patrolmen
in the same manner as elsewhere provided for in this chapter for the
enforcement of traffic or parking ordinances, including the use of
tags, summonses, towing, and any other procedure authorized by law.
(d)
Proof of ownership of a vehicle shall be presumptive evidence in
an action for enforcement of this section that the owner parked or
caused his vehicle to be parked on such premises.
(e)
If such premises adjoin or abut a building or structure whose entrances
or exits open upon such parking area, no vehicle shall be left parked,
standing, or placed in such a manner as to obstruct such entrances
or exits to the street or public right-of-way. Such passageway shall
be equal in width to the width of such entrances or exits in each
instance, but in no case shall be less than five feet wide and shall
permit persons to enter and leave such building or structure with
safety. A sign attached to such building or structure at the place
of such entrances or exits shall inform users of such parking area
as to such restrictions, and failure to obey the regulations contained
in this section shall be deemed a violation of this section.
(f)
On demand of the police, any owner or lessee requesting police enforcement
of this section shall furnish to the police a statement, in writing,
signed by him or his agent, to the effect that a specified vehicle
was unlawfully parked, stored, or left upon his premises at a certain
time or during a certain period without his consent or permission,
and such owner or lessee shall be available to testify to such facts
in court at the request of the police. Failure of an owner or lessee
to comply with the request of the police, as set out in this subsection,
shall be sufficient cause for the chief of police or his subordinates
to cease enforcing this section at the premises of such owner or lessee
who fails to give the cooperation required in this subsection.
(g)
Where any owner of any premises desires to completely prohibit parking
thereon, he may notify the public to that effect by a conspicuous
sign placed on such premises stating in substance:
|
NO PARKING
|
|---|
|
POLICE ENFORCEMENT
|
|
UNDER PENALTY OF LAW
|
|
SECTION 24-118 of CODE OF ORDINANCES
|
|
Such sign shall be not greater than two feet in height by three
feet in width, with red lettering not more than four inches high upon
a white background. Any person who parks or leaves a vehicle on such
posted premises shall be deemed in violation of this section.
|
(h)
All signs erected pursuant to former section 28-90 are ratified and
shall be considered to be in compliance with this section.

area. See the Code Comparative Table.
