Gilroy Municipal Code § 15.60 Designation of no stopping, standing or parking areas

The city administrator shall appropriately sign or mark the following places and when so signed or marked no person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle in any such places:

(1) At any place within five (5) feet of an intersection in the central traffic district or in any business district except on the approach to a traffic signal, boulevard stop sign or official electric flashing device at the intersection; provided, however, that a bus may stop at a designated bus stop.

(2) At any place where the city administrator determines that it is necessary in order to eliminate unusual traffic hazard.

(3) On any residential street whenever the city administrator determines it necessary due to an unusual influx of non-resident vehicles on a regular basis; provided that appropriate permits may be issued by the police department to residents to park in front of their own residences upon payment of a permit fee as fixed by council resolution.

(Ord. No. 480, § 48; Ord. No. 90-11, § 1, 5-21-1990)

The city administrator is hereby authorized to establish and designate by marking with white lines such parking spaces on public streets and highways in the city as he shall deem necessary. In an area where parking spaces are so designated, it shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to stop, stand or park such vehicle other than in a regularly designated parking or loading space, across any such line or marking or in such a position that such vehicle shall not be entirely within the space so designated as a parking space.

If the overall length of a vehicle or vehicle with trailer attached exceeds the length of a single marked space, it shall be lawful to park such vehicle or vehicle and trailer entirely within such adjoining marked spaces parallel to the curb as are necessary to accommodate such overall length.

(Ord. No. 944, § 1, 12-6-1971)
