It is unlawful for any pedestrian, equestrian, driver or operator of a vehicle, except authorized emergency vehicles, to pass through, or drive between the vehicles comprising, or interrupt, any regularly ordered funeral procession, or any procession authorized by permit of the chief of police as herein provided. This provision shall not apply at intersections where traffic is controlled by traffic-control signals unless a police officer is present at such intersections to direct traffic so as to preserve the continuity of the procession or parade.

No person shall leave any vehicle upon any street which is being or has been cleared for parade purposes. All persons, except those participating in parades, shall keep off the streets temporarily closed for parades. (Ord. 5212 § 1 (Exh. E), 1999; 1957 code § 9.04.320.)
