§ 66-66. Time limits on certain streets and in certain public parking lots.
(a)
When signs are erected giving notice thereof, no person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle for longer than the time designated by such signs at any time between those hours so stated by such signs, on any day except Saturdays and Sundays and full legal holidays.
(b)
It shall be unlawful for any operator of a motor vehicle to move such vehicle or allow or permit others to move such vehicle within a municipal parking lot or within the same block on either side of the street or roadway so that a vehicle is parked in the restricted area defined in subsection (a) above in one or more parking spaces for a cumulative time longer than the time designated by the signs or otherwise in excess of the established time limits. In establishing parking time limits, it is the intention and purpose of the city council to provide short-term parking for customers and business visitors and to prohibit the use of such parking spaces to persons desiring to park in excess of posted time limits. The changing of the parked position of a vehicle from one parking space within the same parking lot or the same block on either side of the street or roadway shall be deemed one continuous time period for a 12-hour time frame from the time that the vehicle is first chalked and within the time limits designated by such signs specified in subsection (a) of this section. This subsection (b) shall apply only to the downtown parking exempt zone.
(c)
It shall be unlawful to remove a chalk mark from the car's tire while it is parked in a designated time-limited parking space and for purposes of evading the enforcement of said time limits.
