(a)

Streets and highways within the corporate limits of the city shall, if necessary for the efficient cleaning, maintenance, and improvement of the same, be at the direction of the city street commissioner barricaded and closed to public use as is hereinafter specified, until the completion of the cleaning, maintenance, and improvement operation.

(b)

Barricades shall clearly announce to the public the intention of the city to clean, maintain, and improve the streets and highways, which shall be sufficient notice to the public to refrain from parking any automobiles, other mechanical units or objects about and along the thoroughfares and shall, further, be sufficient notice to the owners of any automobiles, mechanical units, or any objects of whatever description parked thereon to remove or cause the removal of them within 12 hours from the time of placement of the barricades. Traffic through and along the thoroughfares may be restricted and stopped entirely during the cleaning, maintaining, or improving operation when the restriction may, in the opinion of the street commissioner, be necessary to the proper and safe conduct of the street cleaning, maintaining, or improving in progress, all of which shall be clearly announced to the public on signs specifying the restrictions pertinent to the particular street being cleaned, maintained, or improved, attached, or placed in proximity to the barricade or other obstruction fixed along the street.
