    The town manager is authorized upon the basis of a traffic engineering investigation to prohibit stopping, standing or parking of vehicles on certain highways or portions thereof at all or certain hours of the day and to place signs or curb markings, as described in Section 10.04.060, at any of the following places for the purpose of alleviating dangerous or hazardous traffic conditions, facilitating the full use of the roadway, facilitating the movement of traffic or serving the convenience of the public:

    1.

    At any place within one hundred feet of the intersection of two or more highways;

    2.

    At any place within twenty-five feet of a railroad grade crossing;

    3.

    Adjacent to either side of a crosswalk or driveway entrance for a distance not to exceed fifty 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 snowplows, and the width of the highway is restricted by reason of snow conditions;

    7.

    On either or both of the sides of a highway when the width of the roadway and shoulders of such highway do not exceed twenty feet or upon one side of a highway when the width of the roadway and shoulders of such highway do not exceed thirty feet;

    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 town manager finds upon the basis of a traffic engineering investigation that the conditions because of which the stopping, standing or parking was prohibited as authorized in subsection A of this section no longer exist, he shall remove such signs and such curb markings from such portion of such street or highway.
