If applicable, any such Wrigley Field concert-related temporary signs shall include a
 
 
notice of the Zone 383 and LV2 permit exceptions to towing. It shall be a violation of this section, and shall subject the violator to the fine set forth in Section 9-100-020, to park any vehicle on any street in violation of a sign posted, erected or maintained pursuant to this section.
