The City Commission is hereby authorized to determine the location
of passenger and freight curb loading zones, and shall have placed
and maintained the appropriate signs indicating the same and stating
the hours during which the provisions of this section are applicable.
By the same authority, such loading zones may be changed or discontinued.
2.
When such a loading zone is established on request of any person,
the city shall not have signs placed until the applicant has paid
to the city an amount of money established by the City Commission
to be adequate to reimburse the city for all costs of establishing
and signing the same.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle for any purpose
or period of time other than for the expeditious loading or unloading
of passengers in any place marked as a passenger curb loading zone
during hours when the regulations applicable to such curb loading
zone are effective and then only for a period not to exceed three
minutes.
1.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle for any purpose or
length of time other than for the expeditious unloading and delivery
or pickup and loading of materials in any place marked as a freight
curb loading zone during hours when the provisions applicable to such
zones are in effect. In no case shall the stop for loading or unloading
of materials exceed 20 minutes.
2.
The driver of a passenger vehicle may stop temporarily at a place
marked as a freight curb loading zone for the purpose of and while
actually engaged in loading or unloading passengers when such stopping
does not interfere with any motor vehicle used for the transportation
of materials which is waiting to enter or about to enter such zone.
The City Commission is hereby authorized and required to establish
bus stops, bus stands, taxicab stands, and stands for other passenger
common-carrier motor vehicles on such public streets in such places
and in such number as it determines to be of the greatest benefit
and convenience to the public; and every such bus stop, bus stand,
taxicab stand, or other stand shall be designated by appropriate signs.
By the same authority, such stops and stands may be changed or discontinued.
1.
The operator of a bus shall not stand or park such vehicle upon any
street at any place other than a bus stand so designated as provided
herein.
2.
The operator of a bus shall not stop such vehicle upon any street
at any place for the purpose of loading or unloading passengers or
their baggage other than at a bus stop, bus stand, or passenger loading
zone so designated as provided herein, except in the case of an emergency.
3.
The operator of a bus shall enter a bus stop, bus stand, or passenger
loading zone on a public street in such a manner that the bus, when
stopped to load or unloading passengers or baggage, shall be in a
position with the right front wheel of such vehicle not further than
18 inches from the curb and the bus approximately parallel to the
curb so as not to unduly impede the movement of other vehicular traffic.
4.
The operator of a taxicab shall not stand or park such vehicle upon
any street at any place other than in a taxicab stand so designated
as provided herein. This provision shall not prevent the operator
of a taxicab from temporarily stopping in accordance with other stopping
or parking regulations at any place for the purpose of and while actually
engaged in the expeditious loading or unloading of passengers.
No person shall stop, stand, or park a vehicle other than a
bus in a bus stop, or other than a taxicab in a taxicab stand, when
any such stop or stand has been officially designated and appropriately
signed, except that the driver of a passenger vehicle may temporarily
stop therein for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading
or unloading passengers when such stopping does not interfere with
any bus or taxicab waiting to enter such zone.
