If it is the judgment of the Superintendent
of Highways that threatening weather conditions may impair the free
flow of vehicular traffic or that parked vehicles may impede the clearance
of snow, then said Superintendent of Highways may declare a state
of snow emergency to exist.
A.
Whenever such a snow emergency is declared by the Superintendent of Highways, and he shall have caused announcement thereof by the use of available news and other media, then no driver or owner shall stand or park any vehicle on any of the streets or ways described in Schedule Q (§ 240-99) at any time for a period of 48 hours or until such snow emergency is declared to be no longer in effect. All streets so designated shall be posted with appropriate snow emergency route signs. During the snow emergencies, vehicles may be parked on only one side of all other streets, the side to be determined and announced by the Superintendent of Highways.

B.
Whenever such an extreme snow emergency is declared
by the Mayor and the Superintendent of Highways, they shall have caused
announcement thereof by the use of available news and other media,
then no parking shall be allowed on City streets for a period of 48
hours after the Mayor and Superintendent of Highways have declared,
in writing, an extreme snow emergency. Said writing is to be time
coded and filed with the Police Department forthwith. Said extreme
snow emergency shall continue for 48 hours unless the Mayor and Superintendent
of Highways declare a street open following completion of snow removal
and/or plowing.
