§ 10.32.020. Designation and marking of parking spaces and areas where parking is prohibited or limited.

A.

The chief of police or other person designated by the city council is authorized to cause parking spaces to be designated, maintained and marked off in and on such part or parts of the streets of the city as may be authorized by the city council from time to time and is also authorized to cause spaces in which parking is prohibited, either at all times or between certain hours, to be designated, maintained and marked off in and on such part or parts of such streets as may be authorized by the city council from time to time. The chief of police or other person designated by the city council is further authorized to cause time limit parking areas to be designated, maintained and marked off in and on such part or parts of city streets as may be authorized by the city council from time to time. All spaces for parking vehicles shall be laid out parallel with the street or, where permitted by this chapter, at an angle of approximately 45 degrees, and shall be designated by painted lines showing clearly the manner in which a vehicle is to be parked. The fact that a parking space, a no parking area or a time parking area is designated by lines or markings painted on the surface of the street or by clearly visible signs indicating the area affected respectively shall be prima facie evidence that the designation was authorized by the city council at the place it is located and that it was determined by the city council that the same should be designated according to the markings or signs as the case may be, as they then exist.

B.

Areas designated as time limit parking areas shall be designated with clearly distinguishable markings or signs at both ends of the time limit area and at reasonable intervals between the beginning and ending of such time limit area, indicating the time allowed for parking in such area.

C.

Any time limit on parking established under this section shall apply on all days other than Sundays and holidays, and shall be effective from 8:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., unless otherwise designated at the area by sign or markings indicating different hours during which time limit parking is effective.
