Vehicles: stopping, standing, and parking.

Existing law prohibits a person from stopping, parking, or leaving standing any vehicle whether attended or unattended, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the directions of a peace officer or official traffic control device, in designated places, including, among other places, within 15 feet of the driveway entrance to any fire station. A violation of this provision is subject to a civil penalty. This bill would authorize a local authority to, by ordinance, prohibit a person from stopping, parking, or leaving a vehicle within 15 feet of a driveway that is used by certain emergency vehicles to enter or exit a police department, ambulance service provider facility, or general acute care hospital, except as specified, and would require a local authority that enacts that ordinance to provide appropriate curb markings or "KEEP CLEAR" pavement markings and post appropriate signs that delineate this prohibited area.
