SECTION 1. Chapter 10.44 - Stopping, Standing and Parking - is hereby amended by
repealing and reenacting Sections 10.44.040 (A) and (C), relating to Display of “For
Sale” Signs on Vehicles, Vessels or Trailers on City streets to read as follows:
Section 10.44.040 Parkinq for Certain Purposes Prohibited-Displav of “For
Sale” Signs on Vehicles, Vessels or Trailers--Restrictions:
A. It is unlawful to park upon any public street, right-of-way or public
property any vehicle, vessel or trailer displaying a sign advertising
such vehicle, vessel or trailer for sale.
The provisions‘ of this subsection shall not apply to vehicles
parked FOR SALE at the residence of the owner of said vehicle
and the public streets immediately adjacent thereto. A vehicle
parked for sale shall not display a sign exceeding one square foot
in size, or display more than one such sign, or attach to or
otherwise affix to such vehicle, vessel or trailer any other sign,
banner, pennant, balloon or other device, intended to call
attention to the fact that such vehicle, vessel or trailer is offered
for sale.
C. Notwithstanding subsection A of this section, it is unlawful to park
upon any public street, right-of-way or public place within two
hundred feet of any signalized intersection or all-way stop
controlled intersection or within seventy-five feet of any other
intersection, any vehicle, vessel or trailer for sale. The City

within the stated distances of an intersection, and displaying such
signs, constitute a traffic hazard by distracting the attention of
passing motorists and pedestrians away from other traffic moving
through and about such intersections.

construed or given effect in a manner which imposes upon the City, or any officer or employee
thereof, a mandatory duty of care towards persons or property within the City or outside of the
City so as to provide a basis of civil liability for damages, except as otherwise imposed by law.
SECTION 3 - Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or the application thereof to any
person or circumstances is held invalid, such invalidity shall not affect other provisions or
applications of the ordinance which can be given effect without the invalid provision or
application. To this end, the provisions of this ordinance are severable. The City Council
hereby declares that it would have adopted this ordinance irrespective of the invalidity of any
particular portion thereof.
SECTION 4. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict herewith are repealed
insofar as such conflict may exist.
SECTION 5. This ordinance shall be published one time in the “Lodi News Sentinel”, a
