___________________________________________________________________________________
Summary:
A governing board adopts and enforces a provision like Division 3 / Section 8-114 related to temporary parking restrictions in special event areas for practical public-safety, operational, and liability purposes. It is a standard tool in municipal codes that host festivals, parades, or large public gatherings.

Temporary “No Parking” zones clear streets so emergency vehicles can get through quickly. Without this authority, parked cars can block fire lanes or create bottlenecks that delay response times. This is efficient for recurring events e.g., Lexington’s BBQ Festival or one-off gatherings.
