§ 72.045. PARKING FACILITIES THAT FORCE VEHICLES TO CROSS PUBLIC SIDEWALKS, CURBING, OR LANDSCAPING PROHIBITED.

(A) It shall be a parking violation for owners and operators of off-street parking facilities to park, or allow to be parked, vehicles in their lots in such a manner as to force them to cross public sidewalks, curbing or landscaping. All parking spaces shall have concrete wheel stops not less than six inches in height and six feet in length fixed to the ground and placed so as to prevent parked vehicles from crossing property lines into public rights-of-way. The wheel stop device shall be placed at least two and one-half feet back from the property line abutting public right-of-way, but in no case shall vehicles be allowed to intrude into the right-of-way. Only regularly authorized and constructed curb cuts and driveways permitted by the city shall be used for ingress and egress.

(B) A wheel stop device is not required when a guardrail or other suitable barrier is used to prevent the vehicle from intruding into public right-of-way.
