Sec. 3.

(a) No person shall stop, park, or leave standing any vehicle or motor vehicle, whether attended or unattended:

(1) upon the traffic lanes, acceleration lanes, deceleration lanes, bridges, or entrance or exit ramps; or

(2) at any place where a "No Parking" sign is posted.

In case of an emergency, but not otherwise, a motor vehicle or vehicle may be stopped and parked on the shoulder, adjacent to the outer traffic lane in the designated direction of traffic, provided that all wheels and projecting parts of the vehicle or motor vehicle or its load shall be completely clear of the traffic lanes. In the event that it is necessary for the operator of any vehicle or motor vehicle to leave the vehicle or motor vehicle on any portion of the port road unattended, the operator must obtain authorization for parking from the port director or port security before leaving the vehicle or motor vehicle unattended. This subsection does not apply to police or commission motor vehicles or vehicles.

(b) For the purpose of regulating the parking of vehicles or motor vehicles on the port area, the following classes of zones are hereby authorized and adopted:

(1) A public parking zone is a zone where all vehicles or motor vehicles shall park except vehicles or motor vehicles for which a special parking zone is provided in this section. It may be designated by signs erected at the entrance to the zone.

(2) A no parking zone is a zone in which parking of all vehicles or motor vehicles shall be prohibited. It may be designated by painting on the roadway or curb or by the erection of a sign so indicating, or by both.

(3) A passenger loading zone is a zone exclusively set apart for the loading and unloading of passengers and their baggage. It may be designated by the painting of the curb or roadway or by the erection of a sign, or by both. After passengers and their baggage are loaded or unloaded, vehicles or motor vehicles using the zone for this purpose shall immediately leave the zone.

(4) A merchandise loading zone is a zone exclusively set apart for the loading and unloading of merchandise, freight, and supplies for the terminals. It may be designated as a merchandise, freight, and supplies loading and unloading zone, in which event it shall be for the exclusive use indicated. It may be designated by the painting of the curb or roadway or by the erecting of a sign so indicating, or by both.

(5) Any employee parking zone is a zone exclusively set apart for vehicles or motor vehicles of tenants, employees, and concessionaires of the terminals and may, by a sign so indicating, be designated for the exclusive use of vehicles or motor vehicles.

(6) A nonstop zone is a zone in which it shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle or motor vehicle to stop a vehicle or motor vehicle except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the direction of a police officer, port security, or traffic sign or signal. The space may be designated by a painted curb or roadway or by a sign reading, "Stopping Prohibited" or other words clearly so indicating, or by both.

(7) A limited parking zone is a zone in which the parking of all vehicles or motor vehicles shall be for a limited time. It may be designated by painting on the roadway or by the erection of a sign indicating the time limit of parking and the hours of the day in which the limit is applicable, or by both.

(8) No parking within fifteen (15) feet in either direction of a fire hydrant adjacent to a roadway designated by painted curb or roadway or by a sign reading "No Parking" at any time, or by both.

(9) A parking zone limited to parking of vehicles with properly designated handicapped identification.

The port director is hereby authorized to designate the zones established in this subsection in areas as in his judgment will be most compatible with the operation and maintenance of the port area. Whenever any zone is established, it shall be appropriately designated by painting or signs, or both, and when so designated or marked it shall be unlawful for any person to stop, park, or cause or permit to be stopped or parked any vehicle or motor vehicle contrary to a sign or marking.
