The City Manager is hereby authorized to adopt rules and regulations
concerning the subjects mentioned in this article and in accord with
this article. Such rules and regulations shall be issued as traffic
control orders and shall become effective upon being filed with the
City Clerk and upon erection of adequate signs or signals giving notice
of the existence of such regulation, if such signs or signals are
required by the sections of this chapter pertaining to such regulation.

Temporary orders shall become permanent orders upon approval by the
City Council, but notice of such approval shall be filed with the
City Clerk as for an original traffic control order. All such orders
and any action modifying or repealing such orders shall be kept in
a separate book by the City Clerk, to be known as the Traffic Control
Order Book.
(b) Notwithstanding Subsection
