or as indicated on official signs except when it is necessary to stop
a vehicle to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with
the directions of a Police Officer or official traffic control device.

shall not relieve any person from the duty to observe other and more
restrictive provisions prohibiting or limiting the stopping, standing
or parking of vehicles in specified places or at specified times.
When signs are erected giving notice thereof, no person shall
park a vehicle at any time upon any of the streets described by ordinance.
When signs are erected in each block giving notice thereof,
no person shall park a vehicle between the hours specified by ordinance
on any day except Sundays and public holidays within the districts

When signs are erected in each block giving notice thereof,
no person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle between the hours specified
by ordinance on any day except Sundays and public holidays within
the district or upon any of the streets described by ordinance.
Whenever by this Title or any ordinance of the City any parking
time limit is imposed or parking is prohibited on designated streets,
it shall be the duty of the City Traffic Engineer to erect appropriate
signs giving notice thereof and no such regulations shall be effective
unless said signs are erected and in place at the time of any alleged
offense.
In cases where an equally direct and convenient alternate route
is provided, an ordinance may describe and signs may be erected giving
notice thereof that no persons shall operate any commercial vehicle
upon streets or parts of streets so described except those commercial
vehicles making deliveries thereon.
