The Director of Public Works is directed to post appropriate signs designating the no parking-no standing zone, and is also instructed to paint the curb red and add such additional markings as he shall deem necessary or appropriate.

Any violation of this section shall be punishable in the same manner as any other parking offense except that in addition to issuing a citation the Director of Public Works or any law enforcement officer is further authorized to impound any vehicle parked in violation of this ordinance [section] by towing said vehicle to the Public Works storage yard. Any vehicle so impounded shall be held until the cost of the impounding plus storage charges have been paid.
