(1) No person shall park a motor vehicle by backing into any parking space marked for diagonal, angle or perpendicular parking.

(2) Where parking spaces are designated on a street, no person shall stand or park a vehicle other than in the indicated direction and within a single marked space, unless the size or shape of the vehicle makes compliance impossible or except when it is necessary to temporarily use a portion of an abutting parking space to load and unload from the vehicle. Under such conditions, the person loading or unloading may temporarily utilize the adjacent space, but shall immediately park or stand the vehicle entirely within a single marked space on completion of the loading or unloading.

(3) No person shall stand or park a motor vehicle in a street other than parallel with the edge of the roadway, headed in the direction of lawful traffic movement, and with the curbside wheels of the vehicle within 12 inches of the edge of the curb, except where the street is marked or signed for angle parking.

(4) When the operator of a vehicle discovers that the vehicle is parked close to a building to which the fire department has been summoned, the operator shall immediately remove the vehicle from the area, unless otherwise directed by police or fire officers.

(5) The operator who first begins maneuvering a motor vehicle into a vacant parking space on a street shall have priority to park in that space, and no other vehicle operator shall attempt to interfere. (Ord. 1986 § 3 (Exh. A), 2014)
