Whenever authorized signs or markers are placed, erected or installed, indicating no-parking zones, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the provisions of such signs.
Parking longer than the time limit allowed and parking in any restricted area shall not be enforced against any driver or registered owner of a vehicle unless the time for parking is clearly marked by signs, by tags upon parking meters or by painted curbs. The City Council may establish timed parking areas.
Where any vehicle has been parked illegally in such a manner as to endanger public safety or convenience, or where it appears that a vehicle has been abandoned, the Police Department shall have the right to have such vehicle towed away and impounded until the owner thereof or his agent proves his right to possession thereto and satisfactorily answers to the violation of this article. If such impounded vehicle is owned by any county, state or the United States government, such vehicle may be released upon payment of the towing charges.
