Use of streets. <br />No permittee shall have any exclusive right to any location in the public streets or alleys, nor <br />shall any be permitted a stationary location thereon, nor shall any be permitted to operate in a <br />congested area where such operation might impede or inconvenience the public use of such <br />streets or alleys. For the purpose of this article, the judgment of a police officer, exercised in <br />good faith, shall be deemed conclusive as to whether the area is congested and the public <br />impeded or inconvenienced. No permit shall be issued for sales or displays from a location which <br />does not have sufficient parking for customers and for areas where customer parking would <br />interfere with normal traffic flow. <br />Sec. 58-6. Permission of property owner required. <br />No peddler, solicitor or transient merchant shall sell or offer for sale any goods, wares, or <br />merchandise or personal property of any nature whatsoever within the city from a stationary <br />location on public or private property without first obtaining the written consent of the property <br />owner or authorized occupant. <br />3 <br />
