(2) In places where and at hours when stopping for the loading or unloading of merchandise or materials is permitted, vehicles used for the transportation of merchandise or materials may back into the curb to take on or discharge loads, when the owner of such vehicles holds a permit granting him such special privilege.

(3) On a street where there is a perceptible grade, a vehicle when stopped or left unattended shall have a front wheel or a rear wheel turned at an angle against the curb. (b) The city manager shall determine upon what streets angle parking shall be permitted and shall mark or sign such streets or cause the same to be marked or signed. (c) The city manager is hereby authorized to issue to any owner of a vehicle used to transport merchandise or materials a special permit, renewable annually, and to state therein the terms and conditions thereof, allowing the operator of such vehicle the privilege of loading while the vehicle is backed against the curb, if in the opinion of the city manager, such privilege is reasonably necessary in the conduct of the owner's business and will note seriously interfere with traffic.
