(b)

No driver of any vehicle shall drive between the vehicles or persons comprising a parade or motor vehicle event when such vehicles or persons are in motion and are conspicuously designated as a parade or motor vehicle event.

(c)

The Chief of Police and Director of Public Works shall have the authority, when reasonably necessary, to prohibit or restrict the parking of vehicles along a street or part thereof constituting a part of a parade or motor vehicle event, and to post signs to such effect. It shall be unlawful for any person to park or leave unattended any vehicle in violation thereof. No person shall be liable for parking on an un-posted street in violation of this chapter.

(d)

It shall be unlawful for any person as a parade or motor vehicle event participant to discharge or fire any gun, pistol, air rifle, pellet gun, BB gun or any firearm, as a part of, during, or along any parade route while a parade is in progress, provided, however, that firearms loaded with blank ammunition which when discharged does not produce any noise greater than that produced by .22 caliber blank ammunition may be used as a part of the parade. This prohibition shall not apply to law enforcement officers engaged in the performance of their duties.
