Whenever any of the following names or terms are used in said Ordinance No. 3597, each such name or term shall be deemed and construed to have the meaning ascribed to it in this section as follows:

(1) County, County of Los Angeles, or unincorporated area shall mean the City of Lomita.

(2) Superintendent of streets shall mean the road commissioner of the County of Los Angeles or such other person as may be appointed to act in such capacity by the city council from time to time by resolution or minute order.

(a) General regulations. Whenever the board finds that the width of a highway and traffic conditions are such that the parking of vehicles at an angle to the curb instead of parallel to the curb will not impede traffic, and that there is need for the additional parking space which parking at an angle will provide, the commissioner shall indicate at what angle traffic conditions make it desirable that vehicles should be parked by placing parallel white lines on the surface of the roadway. On such portions of such highways, whether such lines were painted before or after the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter, an operator shall not stop, stand or park any vehicle except between, at the angle indicated by, and parallel to both such adjacent white lines, with the nearest wheel not more than one (1) foot from the curb.

(b) Areas enumerated. For the purpose of this section no operator shall stand or park any vehicle unless the vehicle is headed toward the curb in the direction of traffic at an angle of approximately forty-five (45) degrees from such curb; except that no person shall stand or park a vehicle exceeding twenty (20) feet in overall length.

(c) Permissible areas: Angle parking is permitted at the following locations—1. Narbonne Avenue (west side only) between the alley north of Lomita Boulevard and 243rd Street.
