zone are effective, and then only for a period not to exceed three
(3) minutes.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle for any purpose
or length of time other than for the expeditious unloading and delivery

curb loading zone during hours when the provisions applicable to such
zones are in effect.
The City Manager is hereby authorized and required to establish
bus stops, bus stands, taxicab stands and stands for other passenger
common carrier motor vehicles on such public streets, in such places
and in such number as he/she shall determine to be of the greatest
benefit and convenience to the public, and every such bus stop, bus
stand, taxicab stand or other stand shall be designated by appropriate
signs.
No person shall stop, 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 stop or stand has been officially designated and appropriately
signed, except that the driver of a passenger vehicle may temporarily
stop therein for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading
or unloading passengers when such stopping does not interfere with
any bus or taxicab waiting to enter or about to enter such zone.
