Sec. 30-38. Stopping travel on streets; interfering with barricades,
etc.

The city manager or his authorized representative shall
have the right to stop travel on any street when the same is
being repaved or improved, if he deems it necessary, and the
city manager shall also have the right to stop travel on any
street when requested by a practicing physician to do so for

the protection and comfort of a patient during serious illness.
This shall be done by ropes which shall be marked by some
white cloth during the daytime and by lighted lanterns at
night. No person shall remove, cut or interfere with barricades
or lights placed for the purpose of stopping travel on
streets or driving or riding on those portions of the streets
so cut off or in any way encroaching upon or interfere with
any portion of the streets of the city when they are being
repaved or improved. (Code 1959, § 30-38.)
