§ 26-3. Restrictions on parking; special limitations.

(a)

Limitation of 72 hours. No person shall park or leave standing any vehicle or trailer on any street in the village for a period of 72 or more consecutive hours in the same location at any time. When any police officer shall find a vehicle standing upon a street in violation of the provisions of this section, he is authorized to move such a vehicle or to require the operator in charge thereof to move such vehicle to a position permitted under this chapter. The police officer may cause said vehicle to be removed to a proper impoundment and storage area within the village where storage space is available and in such case the owner shall pay the costs of removing said vehicle and the storage fees on said vehicle before he may recover the possession thereof.

(b)

Posted limitations. No person shall park or cause to be parked, except physicians on emergency calls, on any street in the village in violation of the hours as posted on the signs placed at or reasonably near the corporate limits of the village in accordance with the provisions of Wis. Stats. § 439.13. The chief of police is hereby granted the authority, within the reasonable exercise of police power, to prohibit, limit the time or otherwise restrict the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles beyond the provisions of Wis. Stats. ch. 346 and shall also have the authority to restrict the turning or movement of heavy traffic and to impose special weight limitations on any highway or portions thereof which, because of the weakness of the roadbed due to deterioration or climatic conditions or other special or temporary conditions, would likely be seriously damaged or destroyed in the absence of any restrictions on heavy traffic movement or special weight limitations. No prohibition, restriction or limitation on parking or restriction on movement or turning of heavy traffic and imposition of special weight limits is effective unless official traffic control devices have been placed or erected indicating the particular prohibition, restriction or limitation.

(c)

Seasonal parking limitations; Friday night parking. It shall be unlawful for any person to park or leave unattended any automobile, truck or any other vehicle on any streets of the village between the hours of 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. during the months of November, December, January, February, March and April.
