§ 35-648. Snow emergency regulations.

(a)

When snow, sleet or freezing rain is causing slippery or hazardous conditions which might lead to serious traffic congestion, the director of public works or a designated representative may declare a traffic emergency and, until such emergency is terminated, no person shall operate a motor vehicle on any street in such manner or in such condition as to allow or permit such vehicle to become stalled by reason of the fact that the driving wheels of such vehicle are not equipped with effective tire chains, snow tires or radial tires.

(b)

Whenever snow has accumulated or there is a possibility that snow will accumulate to such a depth that snow removal operations will be required, the director of public works or a designated representative may declare a parking emergency and, until such an emergency is terminated, no vehicles shall be parked on any streets designated as snow routes by appropriate signs. All vehicles parked on such streets must be removed within two hours after declaration of an emergency or be considered in violation of this section.
