Whenever the Mayor or Chief of Police finds, on the basis of
existing or forecasted weather conditions, the Mayor or Chief of Police
may declare a weather emergency and put into effect a parking prohibition
on streets designated as weather emergency routes, which prohibition
shall remain in effect until terminated by announcement of the Mayor
or Chief of Police.
While the weather emergency is in effect, no person shall park
any vehicle or allow any vehicle to remain parked on any portion of
a weather emergency route. However, nothing in this section shall
be construed to permit parking at any time or place where it is forbidden
by any other provision of laws.
Any regulation which becomes effective by declaration of the
Mayor or Chief of Police shall, while temporarily in effect, take
over other conflicting provisions of law normally in effect, except
that it shall not take precedence over provisions of law relating
to traffic accidents or emergency travel of authorized emergency vehicles.
In any prosecution with regard to a vehicle parked or left in
a place or in a condition in violation of any provision of this Article,
the operator and/or the registered owner of such vehicle shall be
responsible for any violation of this section committed by any person
having charge of the vehicle.
[Amended 10-15-2014 by L.L. No. 2-2014]
Every person convicted of a violation of any provision of this
article shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500 nor less
than $60.
