Engineer upon granting a permit and issuing such signs shall collect
from the applicant and deposit in the City Treasury a service fee
of ten dollars ($10.00) per year or fraction thereof and may by general
regulations impose conditions upon the use of such signs and for reimbursement
of the City for the value thereof in the event of their loss or damage
and their return in the event of misuse or upon expiration of permit.
Every such permit shall expire at the end of one (1) year.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle
for any purpose or period of time other than for the expeditious loading

loading zone during hours when the regulations applicable to such
curb loading 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 or pickup and loading of materials in any place marked
as a freight curb loading zone during hours when the provisions applicable
to such zones are in effect.
The City Traffic Engineer 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.
