The City Traffic Engineer shall determine the hours and days
during which any traffic-control device shall be in operation or be
in effect, except in those cases where such hours or days are specified
in this title.
(Prior code § 13.25)
No provision of the
Vehicle Code or of this title for which
signs are required shall be enforced against an alleged violator unless
appropriate legible signs are in place giving notice of such provisions
of the traffic laws.
(Prior code § 13.19)
The City Traffic Engineer is authorized to mark centerlines
and lane lines upon the surface of the roadway to indicate the course
to be traveled by vehicles and may place signs temporarily designating
lanes to be used by traffic moving in a particular direction, regardless
of the centerline of the highway.
(Prior code § 13.22)
The City Traffic Engineer is authorized to place and maintain
distinctive roadway markings as described in the
Vehicle Code on those
streets or parts of streets where the volume of traffic or the vertical
or other curvature of the roadway renders it hazardous to drive on
the left side of such marking or signs and markings. Such marking
or signs and markings shall have the same effect as similar markings
placed by the state Department of Public Works pursuant to provisions
of the
Vehicle Code.
(Prior code § 13.23)
A. It
is unlawful for any person driving, or operating, propelling or causing
to be propelled, any vehicle to fail, refuse or neglect to stop within
fifty feet prior to the nearest side of a school crosswalk or pedestrian
lane where any signal device, police officer or any other authorized
person is stationed giving warning that children are about to cross
or are crossing the street; and it is further declared unlawful to
start such vehicle into motion until such signal has stopped, raised,
been removed or given an indication to proceed, or the police officer
or other authorized person has given a signal to proceed or has left
the locality.
B. The
signals referred to in this section and known hereafter as "school
signals" shall be of the type as follows:
A yellow intermittent light shall be displayed during those
hours in any one day as deemed necessary for the safety and welfare
of school children, and shall be an indication to the operator of
a vehicle of a school crosswalk, and a further indication to the operator
of a vehicle to proceed with caution. The "school signal" shall display
a constant yellow light upon being actuated by a remote control operated
by a pedestrian, and shall be an indication to the operator of a vehicle
that the constant red light alone is about to be displayed and shall
be further indication to the operator of a vehicle that a complete
stop within fifty feet prior to the crosswalk or pedestrian lane contiguous
to the signal will be required. A constant red light shall be displayed
immediately after the display of the constant yellow light by the
"school signal," which shall be an indication to the operator of a
vehicle that a complete stop is required and the vehicle shall not
be placed into motion prior to the "school signal" resuming the operation
of an intermittent yellow light, which shall indicate to proceed with
caution.
(Prior code § 13.27)
No person, unless authorized by this City, shall paint any street
or curb surface; provided, however, that this section shall not apply
to the painting of numbers on a curb surface by any person who has
complied with the provisions of any resolution or ordinance of this
City pertaining thereto.
(Prior code § 13.26)
The City Traffic Engineer is authorized to remove, relocate
or discontinue the operation of any traffic-control device not specifically
required by the
Vehicle Code or this title whenever he or she determines
in any particular case that the conditions which warranted or required
the installation no longer exist or obtain.
(Prior code § 13.24)
