ORDINANCE NO. 1826
ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AMENDING MUNICIPAL CODE SECTION 13.36.045 TO ALLOW MOTORCYCLES
TO BE PARKED IN ANGLE PARKING FACING OUT
The CITY COUNCIL of the CITY OF BURLINGAME does hereby ordain as follows:
Section 1. The Municipal Code currently provides that any vehicle using an angle parking
space has to have the front wheel within six (6) inches of the curb or wheel stop. Ho«ever, it is
usually easier and safer for a motorcyclist to put the rear wheel of a motorcycle to the curb or wheel
stop and face the motorcycle out of the space. Motorcycles are an important part of the City's
transportation and parking system and should be encouraged as an efficient means of transport.
This ordinance would expressly allow motorcyclists to place the rear wheel or the front wheel
within six (6) inches of the curb or wheel stop.
Section 2. Subsection 13.36.045(b) (Angle Parking) is amended to read as follows:
(b) On any of the streets or portions of streets established as angle parking zones, when
signs or pavement markings are in place indicating such diagonal parking, it shall be unlawful for
the operator of any vehicle to park such vehicle except;
(1) At the angle to the curb or wheel stop indicated by signs or pavement markings
allotting space to parked vehicles and entirely within the limits of such allotted space;
(2) With the front wheel nearest the curb or wheel stop within six (6) inches of the curb
or wheel stop; however, an operator of a motorcycle who parks a motorcycle with
either a front or
rear wheel within six (6) inches of the club or wheel stop shall be considered to be in compliance
with this subsection;
Section 3. This ordinance shall be published as required by law.
