in effect

Section 1206. - Obstructing free passage. A. It shall be unlawful and an offense for any person to knowingly obstruct any street, alley, crosswalk, sidewalk, driveway, or trail used for the passage of pedestrians, as defined by Title 37, Section 100, vehicles, or bicycles to which the public or a substantial group of the public has access, unless allowed by the terms of a license or permit issued by the City. B. It shall be unlawful and an offense for any person to knowingly obstruct any curb ramp, accessibility ramp, doorway, or similar point of access or egress for the locations listed in Subsection A. C. As used in this section, "obstruct" means to interfere with the use for the intended purpose or to block, impede, interfere with, hinder, or delay the reasonable movement of vehicular or pedestrian traffic, including the reasonable movement of persons with disabilities, whether the obstruction arises from a person's acts alone or from a person's acts combined with the acts of others, and whether the obstruction is caused by a person's body, materials, or equipment in the possession of or used by the person, or any combination of these. D. Any person violating the provisions of this section shall be guilty of an offense and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine of not more than One Hundred Dollars ($100.00), excluding costs, fees and assessments. If an obstruction arises solely from materials, objects, or equipment, each day such violation is committed or permitted to continue shall constitute a separate offense. E. It shall constitute an affirmative defense to a violation of this section if the obstruction caused by a person is as a result of an injury or equipment failure for which the person must be rendered aid to clear the obstruction and a person accepts aid when offered by a peace office or other city official.
