any street or highway where the use of such street or highway or a
portion thereof is necessary for the cleaning, repair or construction
of the street or highway or the installation of underground utilities
or where the use of the street or highway or any portion thereof is
authorized for a purpose other than the normal flow of traffic or
where the use of the street or highway or any portion thereof is necessary
for the movement of equipment, articles or structures of unusual size,
and the parking of such vehicle would prohibit or interfere with such
use or movement; provided, that signs giving notice of such no parking
are erected or placed at least twenty-four hours prior to the effective
time of such no parking;
H. At
any place within twenty feet of a crosswalk at an intersection when

or functions, or for other reasons, the city shall have power and
authority to order temporary signs to be erected or posted indicating
that the operation, parking or standing of vehicles is prohibited
on such streets and alleys as the city shall direct during the time
such temporary signs are in place. Such signs shall remain in place
only during the existence of such emergency and the city shall cause
such signs to be removed promptly thereafter.
When signs authorized by the provisions of this section are
in place giving notice thereof, no person shall operate, park or stand
any vehicle contrary to the directions and provisions of such signs.
(Ord. 496 § 3, 1993)
The driving, moving, or re-parking of a vehicle from one parking
space to a different space in the same timerestricted street, alley
or portion thereof, or other property, shall not be deemed a defense
to the time limitations imposed by this code. No vehicle shall be
re-parked in the same time zone between the posted hours. Designed
to prevent all-day parkers from periodically moving their vehicles
from space to space on the same street, thus defeating the intent
of timed parking.
