CHAPTER 14 MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC.*
Article VIII. Restricted Use of Certain Streets.
Sec. 14-8-5. Diversion of vehicles from congested street.
When a peace officer, as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section
830) of Title 3 of Part 2 of the Penal Code, determines that the traffic load on
a particular street or highway, or a portion thereof, is such that little or no
vehicle flow is occurring and, additionally, if the peace officer finds that a
significant number of vehicles are not promptly moving when an opportunity
arises to do so, then the peace officer may divert vehicles, excepting public
safety or emergency vehicles, from that street or highway, or portion thereof,
subject to traffic congestion until such time as reasonably flowing traffic is
restored. (Ord. No. 1039, § 1 (part).)
