Center Parking In Alva

According to the 21 May 1953 article in the Alva Review-Courier, the city council Friday morning adopted Ordinance 508 which amends the city's traffic and parking code, Ordinance 442, and attached the Emergency Clause, thus making effective Friday morning the abolishing of all center parking in Alva.

Ordinance 508 States

"That no automobiles or other motor vehicles shall be allowed to stand or park in the center of the street in or upon any of the streets within the city of Alva, Oklahoma.

"All vehicles parked at the curb of any street shall park at an angle of 45 degrees except where parallel parking is authorized or permitted, or at such other angle as parking lines indicate, and when desiring to leave such angle parking, the driver shall back slowing out of such parking place, making sure that there is no oncoming traffic within the reasonably clear and assured distance behind such backing vehicle and then such driver shall proceed forward in the general line of travel on that side of the street.

"Provided: that no truck or pickup larger than one-half ton capacity shall park at any place around the public square, not on Barnes or Flynn Avenues between College Avenue and Seventh Street nor on College Avenue between Choctaw Street and Center Street."   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
