§ 26-117. Double parking.

(a)

It shall be unlawful for vehicles to be stopped two (2) or more abreast parallel with the curb, except in funeral processions; provided, that the double parking of trucks for loading and unloading of merchandise at a point immediately opposite the place of receipt or delivery, but not within twenty-five (25) feet of the nearest building line of an intersecting street or another double parked truck, shall be permitted for a period of time necessary for such loading and unloading, provided no parking space within fifty (50) feet of the point of delivery or loading is available. Such double parking, however, is subject to the right of any police officer to cause such truck to be moved when necessary to relieve or prevent congestion of traffic.

(b)

Such double parking as is permitted in subsection (a) is subject to the prohibitions and restrictions heretofore adopted by the former cities of Newport News and Warwick which prohibitions are hereby expressly continued in effect until such time as they may be changed by the traffic engineer or by ordinance.
