32-30-2.4. No-parking zones posted by department--Temporary zones--Signs--Violation as misdemeanor. The Department of Transportation with respect to highways under its jurisdiction may promulgate rules pursuant to chapter 1-26 to prohibit or restrict the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on any highway if such stopping, standing, or parking is dangerous to those using the highway or if the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles would unduly interfere with the free movement of traffic thereon. If such a rule is promulgated, the highway shall be signed to indicate where such stopping, standing, or parking is prohibited. The secretary of transportation may establish a temporary no parking zone, not to exceed ninety days, if the secretary of public safety and the secretary of transportation, after consultation with the director of the highway patrol, agree that a no parking zone is necessary for the protection of life and property. Such signs are official signs and no person may stop, stand, or park any vehicle in violation of the restrictions stated on such signs. A violation of this section is a Class 2 misdemeanor.
