(b) Such a legislative body also may by local law, ordinance, order, rule or regulation prohibit, restrict or limit the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles upon property owned or leased by such city or village.

(c) Each such legislative body shall cause to be determined, for all bridges and elevated structures under its jurisdiction, the capacity in tons of two thousand pounds which the bridge or structure will safely carry. At bridges or structures of insufficient strength to carry safely the legal loads permissible by section three hundred eighty-five, the legislative body of such city or village shall cause signs to be erected to inform persons of the safe capacity.

(d) Each such legislative body of a city or a village shall cause signs to be erected to inform persons of the legal overhead clearance for all bridges and structures on highways under its jurisdiction. The legal clearance shall be one foot less than the measured clearance. The measured clearance shall be the minimum height to the bridge or structure measured vertically from the traveled portion of the roadway. On bridges or structures having fourteen feet or more of measured clearance, no such signs shall be required.

(e) No legislative body of a city or a village shall enact any law that prohibits the use of sidewalks by persons with disabilities who use either a wheelchair or an electrically-driven mobility assistance device being operated or driven by such person.
