When signs are erected giving notice thereof, no person shall
park a vehicle at any time 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

upon streets or parts of streets so described except those commercial
vehicles making deliveries thereon.
