Sec. 8-151. - Sales prohibited in certain areas.

(a)

No person shall hawk or peddle on any street or public way in the city, except between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. in residential areas and between the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight in business areas as such areas are shown on the zoning map of the city on file in the city clerk's office.

(b)

The chief of police is hereby authorized to submit to council a list of streets and public ways throughout the city which, in his opinion, because of excess traffic and congestion, are unsafe for the public welfare and safety for the selling or offering for sale or merchandise by hawkers or peddlers. This list, upon submission to the city council, is to be reviewed by the traffic engineer and then resubmitted to the city council for final approval.

(c)

Upon final approval, such list will be on file in the city clerk's office.

(d)

At no time shall a hawker or peddler impede the free flow of traffic. The chief of police is hereby authorized to suspend operation of hawkers or peddlers at any time and for such periods of time on streets and ways where conditions exist that require him, in his opinion, in the interest of public safety, to do so without a prior request to city council.
