No operator of any vehicle, except physicians
on emergency calls, shall park the vehicle upon any street, public
highway or alley between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. in the Village from
November 1 through March 31 without permission by the Police Department.
In cases of construction, permission may be given by the Department
of Public Works or Police Department. Any vehicle parked in violation
of this section may be ticketed and/or towed at the owner’s
expense.
[Added 5-20-2008 by Ord. No. 05202008]
A.
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to clearly
define acceptable areas for parking vehicles within the established
front yard of private properties in order to address off-street parking
issues and maintain the acceptable appearance of Village neighborhoods.
B.
Seventy-two-hour limitation. No person, firm or corporation
shall park or leave standing any automobile, truck, trailer, conveyance
or vehicle of any description on any public streets or public parking
lots in the Village of Wrightstown for a period of 72 or more consecutive
hours in the same location at any time, without permission by the
Police Department or Director of Public Works, except that where more
restrictive parking limits have been established, the more restrictive
limits shall apply. When any law enforcement officer shall find a
vehicle standing upon a public street or parking lot in violation
of the provisions of this section, he is authorized to move such a
vehicle or to require the operator in charge thereof to move such
vehicle to a position permitted under this chapter. The law enforcement
officer may cause said vehicle to be removed to a proper impoundment
and storage area within/without the Village where storage space is
available and, in such case, the owner shall pay the costs of removing
said vehicle and the storage fees on said vehicle before he may recover
the possession thereof.
C.
Posted limitations.
(1)
The Village Board may designate certain streets
or portions of streets as no parking or no stopping or standing zones
or as zones for parking by physically handicapped persons and may
limit the hours in which the restrictions apply. The Village shall
mark, by appropriate signs, each zone so designated in accordance
with the provisions of § 349.13, Wis. Stats.
(2)
Except when necessary to avoid conflict with
other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a police officer
or traffic control device, no person shall stop or park a vehicle
in an established no stopping or standing zone when stopping or standing
is prohibited. No vehicle shall be parked in a no parking zone during
hours when parking is prohibited, except physicians on emergency calls
or as permitted by state law or elsewhere by this Code of Ordinances.
(3)
The Chief of Police is hereby granted the authority,
within the reasonable exercise of police power to prohibit, limit
the time or otherwise restrict the stopping, standing or parking of
vehicles beyond the provisions of Chapter 346, Wis. Stats. The Village
Board shall have the authority to restrict the turning or movement
of heavy traffic and to impose special weight limitations on any highway
or portions thereof which, because of the weakness of the roadbed
due to deterioration or climatic conditions or other special or temporary
conditions, would likely be seriously damaged or destroyed in the
absence of any restrictions on heavy traffic movement or special weight
limitations.
(4)
No prohibition, restriction or limitation on
parking or restriction on movement or turning of heavy traffic and
imposition of special weight limits is effective unless official traffic
control devices have been placed or erected indicating the particular
prohibition, restriction or limitation.
(5)
After the parking limitations on any given street
have expired, any change of location of not more than one designated
stall following expiration of the parking period allowed shall be
and constitute a violation of this chapter.
D.
No owner or person having control or charge of any vehicle which
is not in good or safe operating condition or which may otherwise
not be permitted by law to be operated or used upon public highways
shall park or store such vehicles on any public street or highway
or public property except as permitted by W.S.A. § 346.50.

work is to be commenced. No person shall park a motor vehicle in violation
of such signs.
B.

Pursuant to the provisions of § 349.13, Wis. Stats., the
Chief of Police is authorized to direct that temporary limited parking
signs be erected during parades, festivals and other authorized events
that require the regulating of vehicle stopping, standing or parking
on Village roadways. The temporary regulation shall be limited to
the time the event exists or is likely to exist.
C.
Parking during snow removal. No person shall park,
place or leave standing any automobile, truck or other vehicle on

lane. No Vehicle shall, at any time, be parked so as to unreasonably
restrict the normal access to any private drive, alley or fire lane.

drive, alley or fire lane, the Chief of Police may order said vehicle
towed from such position at the risk and expense of the owner of said
vehicle.

(a)
If he or she fails to appear in court at the

(b)
If he or she fails to appear in court at the
