(a) Parking or stopping. Parking or stopping is not permitted within fire lanes designated by the City of Aurora for any vehicles other than emergency response and enforcement vehicles. To provide access for emergency response and enforcement vehicles, storage of property or otherwise obstructing city-designated fire lanes is prohibited at all times.

(b) Private property. Property owners or owner's agents may designate additional fire lanes on their private property but are not enforceable by City of Aurora officials as indicated in subsection (d) of this section and are the sole responsibility of the owner or owner's agent to enforce.

(c) School drop-off and pick-up location. Where approved by the fire chief or designee, schools may mark a city-designated fire lane adjacent to the school as a student drop-off and pick-up location. If approved, vehicles must be attended to at all times while stopped in the fire lane by a licensed operator who is capable of moving the vehicle in the event of an emergency. Student pick-up and drop-off locations are intended to be for momentary stopping to enable safe ingress and egress of students and not to be used for parking, or other activities which may obstruct the fire lane when needed by emergency response or enforcement vehicles. Where approved, the fire chief or designee may require on-site traffic control personnel be used to ensure safe traffic flow through student pick-up and drop-off locations within a fire lane and are to be provided by the school.

(d) Penalty. Property owners or vehicle owners convicted of violating this section shall be guilty of a municipal ordinance violation, punishable by a fine of not more than the maximum fine set forth in the general penalty provision of section 1-13(a). (Ord. No. 2021-66, § 13, 12-6-2021)
