Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation covering any designated
street or highway is such that the same exceeds two inches in depth,
no vehicle shall be parked on either side of the street, roadway,
section or part thereof in the following streets and roads:
The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow
has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to
the extent that parking will not interfere with the flow of traffic.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon
streets or parts of streets where temporary emergency no-parking signs
are displayed. The Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking
police officer is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct
the posting of said emergency no-parking signs when weather conditions,
fires or public celebrations dictate or require the avoidance of hazards
or other conditions which interfere with the free flow of traffic.
Notification that the emergency no-parking signs are being or will
be posted shall be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle which
has been parked prior to the posting of the signs.
In addition to any other fine or penalty that may be imposed, any
unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this article
shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation
of traffic, and any police or peace officer may provide for the removal
of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal
and storage which may result from such removal before regaining possession
of the vehicle.
