--- (5) ---

State Law reference— Stopping, standing and parking, Vehicle Code § 22500 et seq.

(a) Whenever the Board determines upon the basis of a traffic engineering investigation that the width of a highway or portion thereof and traffic conditions are such that the parking of vehicles at an angle to the curb or edge of the highway will not be unduly hazardous to the flow of traffic and that there is need for additional parking space which angle parking will provide, the Board shall by ordinance direct the Road Commissioner to, and the Road Commissioner shall, indicate at what angle traffic conditions make it desirable that vehicles should be parked by placing parallel white lines upon the surface of such highway or portion thereof.

On such portions of such highways a person shall not stop, stand, or park any vehicle except between, at an angle indicated by, and parallel to both adjacent white lines, with the nearest wheel not more than one foot from the curb, or bumper which may be placed in lieu of the curb or the edge of the highway. The Road Commissioner may prohibit stopping, standing, or parking in connection with any angle parking layout or plan as provided in Section 9.10.500(a)(5).

(b) Whenever the Board upon the basis of a traffic engineering investigation finds that the conditions, because of which angle parking has been permitted upon a highway or portion thereof as provided in Subsection (a) above, no longer exist, the Board shall by ordinance direct the Road Commissioner to obliterate such angle parking lines and other markings from such highways or portions thereof. Thereafter on such portion of the highway no person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle, other than according to Vehicle Code § 22502 or as provided in this Chapter.

State Law reference— Angle parking, Vehicle Code § 22503.

(a) Whenever parallel parking is required on any highway or portion thereof as provided in Vehicle Code § 22502, the Board hereby authorizes the Road Commissioner to place white lines consistent with the provisions of Vehicle Code § 22502 parallel to and/or at right angle to the curb or edge of the highway when a traffic engineering investigation indicates that such white lines would facilitate the parking of vehicles or alleviate a hazardous condition. When such white lines have been placed no person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle outside of the rectangular space indicated by such lines and the curb or the edge of the highway. The Road Commissioner may prohibit stopping, standing, or parking in connection with any parallel parking plan or layout as provided in Section 9.10.500(a)(5).

(b) Whenever the Road Commissioner upon the basis of a traffic engineering investigation finds that the conditions, because of which parallel white lines were placed as provided in Subsection (a) above, no longer exist, the Road Commissioner shall obliterate such white lines from such highway or portion thereof.

(Prior Code, § 9.10.650; Ord. No. 232)

(a) For the purpose of this Section, a "limited parallel parking space" shall mean an area open for lawful parking along side of, and adjacent to, a curb or edge of highway, which area is not of sufficient length to permit two or more vehicles to park therein at the same time.

(b) Any person seeking to park his vehicle in a limited parallel parking space, whose vehicle arrives at said parking space prior to any other vehicle, and who proceeds beyond said space with his entire vehicle a distance not to exceed ten feet for the purpose of backing his vehicle therein, shall have the right-of-way over any person driving or attempting to drive any other vehicle directly into such limited parallel parking space and the driver of such other vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to the driver who first arrived at said limited parallel parking space.
