Except
as otherwise provided in this Chapter, every vehicle stopped or parked
upon a roadway where there are adjacent curbs shall be so stopped
or parked with the right-hand wheels of such vehicle parallel to and
within eighteen (18) inches of the right-hand curb.
Where
curbs do not exist, such stopping or parking shall be completed in
such manner as to leave the necessary paved travelway plus one (1)
foot on each side available as a freeway.
The Village Traffic Engineer shall determine upon what streets angle
parking shall be permitted and shall mark or sign such streets but
such angle parking shall not be indicated upon any Federal-aid or
State highway within the Village unless the State Highways and Transportation
Commission has determined by resolution or order entered in its minutes
that the roadway is of sufficient width to permit angle parking without
interfering with the free movement of traffic.
Angle parking shall not be indicated or permitted at any place where
passing traffic would thereby be caused or required to drive upon
the left side of the street.
On those streets which have been signed or marked by the Village
Traffic Engineer for angle parking, no person shall park or stand
a vehicle other than at the angle to the curb or edge of the roadway
indicated by such signs or markings.
The Village Traffic Engineer is authorized to issue special permits
to permit the backing of a vehicle to the curb for the purpose of
loading or unloading merchandise or materials subject to the terms
and conditions of such permit. Such permits may be issued either to
the owner or lessee of real property or to the owner of the vehicle
and shall grant to such person the privilege as therein stated and
authorized herein.
Whenever a vehicle is lawfully parked upon a street or highway during
the hours between one-half (1/2) hour after sunset and one-half (1/2)
hour before sunrise and in the event there is sufficient light to
reveal any person or object within a distance of five hundred (500)
feet upon such street or highway, no lights need be displayed upon
such parked vehicle.
Whenever a vehicle is parked or stopped upon a roadway or shoulder
adjacent thereto, whether attended or unattended, during the hours
between one-half (1/2) hour after sunset and one-half (1/2) hour before
sunrise and there is not sufficient light to reveal any person or
object within a distance of five hundred (500) feet upon such highway,
such vehicle so parked or stopped shall be equipped with one (1) or
more lamps meeting the following requirements: At least one (1) lamp
shall display a white or amber light visible from a distance of five
hundred (500) feet to the front of the vehicle, and the same lamp
or at least one (1) other lamp shall display a red light visible from
a distance of five hundred (500) feet to the rear of the vehicle,
and the location of said lamp or lamps shall always be such that at
least one (1) lamp or combination of lamps meeting the requirements
of this Section is installed as near as practicable to the side of
the vehicle which is closer to passing traffic. The foregoing provisions
shall not apply to a motor-driven cycle.
