Sec. 3.
(a) No
person shall stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle or motor vehicle,
whether attended or unattended:
(1) upon the
traffic lanes, acceleration lanes, deceleration lanes, bridges, or entrance or
exit ramps; or
(2) at any place
where a "No Parking" sign is posted.
In case of an emergency, but not otherwise, a motor vehicle
or vehicle may be stopped and parked on the shoulder, adjacent to the outer
traffic lane in the designated direction of traffic, provided that all wheels
and projecting parts of the vehicle or motor vehicle or its load shall be
completely clear of the traffic lanes. In the event that it is necessary for
the operator of any vehicle or motor vehicle to leave the vehicle or motor
vehicle on any portion of the port road unattended, the operator must obtain
authorization for parking from the port director or port security before
leaving the vehicle or motor vehicle unattended. This subsection does not apply
to police or commission motor vehicles or vehicles.
(b) For the purpose of regulating
the parking of vehicles or motor vehicles on the port area, the following
classes of zones are hereby authorized and adopted:
(1) A public parking zone is a zone where all
vehicles or motor vehicles shall park except vehicles or motor vehicles for
which a special parking zone is provided in this section. It may be designated
by signs erected at the entrance to the zone.
(2) A no parking zone is a zone in which
parking of all vehicles or motor vehicles shall be prohibited. It may be
designated by painting on the roadway or curb or by the erection of a sign so
indicating, or by both.
(3) A
passenger loading zone is a zone exclusively set apart for the loading and
unloading of passengers and their baggage. It may be designated by the painting
of the curb or roadway or by the erection of a sign, or by both. After
passengers and their baggage are loaded or unloaded, vehicles or motor vehicles
using the zone for this purpose shall immediately leave the zone.
(4) A merchandise loading zone is a zone
exclusively set apart for the loading and unloading of merchandise, freight,
and supplies for the terminals. It may be designated as a merchandise, freight,
and supplies loading and unloading zone, in which event it shall be for the
exclusive use indicated. It may be designated by the painting of the curb or
roadway or by the erecting of a sign so indicating, or by both.
(5) Any employee parking zone is a zone
exclusively set apart for vehicles or motor vehicles of tenants, employees, and
concessionaires of the terminals and may, by a sign so indicating, be
designated for the exclusive use of vehicles or motor vehicles.
(6) A nonstop zone is a zone in which it
shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle or motor vehicle to stop a
vehicle or motor vehicle except when necessary to avoid conflict with other
traffic or in compliance with the direction of a police officer, port security,
or traffic sign or signal. The space may be designated by a painted curb or
roadway or by a sign reading, "Stopping Prohibited" or other words clearly so
indicating, or by both.
(7) A
limited parking zone is a zone in which the parking of all vehicles or motor
vehicles shall be for a limited time. It may be designated by painting on the
roadway or by the erection of a sign indicating the time limit of parking and
the hours of the day in which the limit is applicable, or by both.
(8) No parking within fifteen (15) feet in
either direction of a fire hydrant adjacent to a roadway designated by painted
curb or roadway or by a sign reading "No Parking" at any time, or by
both.
(9) A parking zone limited to
parking of vehicles with properly designated handicapped identification.
The port director is hereby authorized to designate the zones
established in this subsection in areas as in his judgment will be most
compatible with the operation and maintenance of the port area. Whenever any
zone is established, it shall be appropriately designated by painting or signs,
or both, and when so designated or marked it shall be unlawful for any person
to stop, park, or cause or permit to be stopped or parked any vehicle or motor
vehicle contrary to a sign or marking.
