A.
No
signs shall be erected for the specific purpose of designating the
prohibition of parking in front of the entrance to any building or

that loading or unloading of merchandise at the entrance indicated
is necessary for the relief of traffic congestion and for the orderly
conduct of the business of the applicant and that such loading or
unloading will not unduly interfere with safe and efficient movement
of traffic, such signs may be installed on the payment by the owner,
agent, or lessee of such building or property of the fee required
