A. 
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to clearly define acceptable areas for parking vehicles within the established front yard of private properties in order to address off-street parking issues and maintain the acceptable appearance of Village neighborhoods.
B. 
Seventy-two-hour limitation. No person, firm or corporation shall park or leave standing any automobile, truck, trailer, conveyance or vehicle of any description on any public streets or public parking lots in the Village of Wrightstown for a period of 72 or more consecutive hours in the same location at any time, without permission by the Police Department or Director of Public Works, except that where more restrictive parking limits have been established, the more restrictive limits shall apply. When any law enforcement officer shall find a vehicle standing upon a public street or parking lot in violation of the provisions of this section, he is authorized to move such a vehicle or to require the operator in charge thereof to move such vehicle to a position permitted under this chapter. The law enforcement officer may cause said vehicle to be removed to a proper impoundment and storage area within/without the Village where storage space is available and, in such case, the owner shall pay the costs of removing said vehicle and the storage fees on said vehicle before he may recover the possession thereof.
C. 
Posted limitations.
(1) 
The Village Board may designate certain streets or portions of streets as no parking or no stopping or standing zones or as zones for parking by physically handicapped persons and may limit the hours in which the restrictions apply. The Village shall mark, by appropriate signs, each zone so designated in accordance with the provisions of § 349.13, Wis. Stats.
(2) 
Except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a police officer or traffic control device, no person shall stop or park a vehicle in an established no stopping or standing zone when stopping or standing is prohibited. No vehicle shall be parked in a no parking zone during hours when parking is prohibited, except physicians on emergency calls or as permitted by state law or elsewhere by this Code of Ordinances.
(3) 
The Chief of Police is hereby granted the authority, within the reasonable exercise of police power to prohibit, limit the time or otherwise restrict the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles beyond the provisions of Chapter 346, Wis. Stats. The Village Board shall have the authority to restrict the turning or movement of heavy traffic and to impose special weight limitations on any highway or portions thereof which, because of the weakness of the roadbed due to deterioration or climatic conditions or other special or temporary conditions, would likely be seriously damaged or destroyed in the absence of any restrictions on heavy traffic movement or special weight limitations.
(4) 
No prohibition, restriction or limitation on parking or restriction on movement or turning of heavy traffic and imposition of special weight limits is effective unless official traffic control devices have been placed or erected indicating the particular prohibition, restriction or limitation.
(5) 
After the parking limitations on any given street have expired, any change of location of not more than one designated stall following expiration of the parking period allowed shall be and constitute a violation of this chapter.
D. 
No owner or person having control or charge of any vehicle which is not in good or safe operating condition or which may otherwise not be permitted by law to be operated or used upon public highways shall park or store such vehicles on any public street or highway or public property except as permitted by W.S.A. § 346.50.
