(3)

Adjacent to either side of a crosswalk or driveway entrance for a distance not to exceed fifty (50) feet from either side of such crosswalk or driveway.

(4)

Adjacent to any fire hydrant when it has been determined that stopping, standing or parking of any vehicle, whether attended or unattended, would present some special hazard or would prevent ready access to the fire hydrant.

(5)

At any place in connection with a street or highway vehicular parking layout or plan.

(6)

On either or both of the sides of a highway in those areas where any highway has been cleared of snow by snow plows, and the width of the highway is restricted by reason of snow conditions.

(7)

(8)

On either or both of the sides of any street adjacent to any school property when such parking would interfere with traffic or create a hazardous situation.

(b)

Whenever the director of public works finds upon the basis of a traffic engineering investigation that the conditions because of which stopping, standing or parking was prohibited as authorized in section 14-41(a) no longer exist, he shall remove such signs and such curb markings from such portion of such street or highway.
