§ 10.36.130. Parking meter covers.

A.

Issuance—Inscription. The Traffic Engineer and Director of Parking are authorized to issue parking meter covers to persons engaged in construction, repairs, or service to buildings or other like work, and who in his or her judgement require that one or more parking spaces in parking meter zones immediately adjacent to said work be reserved for and restricted to their use or that said parking spaces not be used for parking of vehicles. Each cover shall be inscribed with the expiration date, the person to whom it has been issued, and the wording "EMERGENCY NO PARKING - CITY OF OAKLAND - USE OF THIS SPACE RESTRICTED TO (name of person to whom cover issued.)"

B.

Restricted Parking When Parking Meters Covered. Notwithstanding any provision of this title or any resolution of the city, it is unlawful for any person, other than a person to whom a parking meter cover has been issued as in this chapter provided, to park any vehicle in any parking meter zone on any street at any time during which the parking meter is covered by a parking meter cover issued as herein provided and displaying thereon an unexpired validation date. The privileges herein granted shall be operative only during the time when vehicles may lawfully be parking in said parking meter zones.

C.

Restrictions on Use of Covers—Revocation. It is unlawful for any person to whom a parking meter cover has been issued as in this chapter provided to use said parking meter cover in any parking meter zone other than one immediately adjacent to the work being performed or to permit said parking meter cover to remain on a parking meter beyond the time actually required for said work. In addition to other penalties imposed, the privileges herein granted shall be revoked and the parking meter cover be removed and it and the fee paid for any unexpired period thereof forfeited whenever the Traffic Engineer and Director of Parking determines that any person to whom a parking meter cover had been issued has violated the restrictions imposed on its use.
