of Oklahoma City, and copies thereof shall be transmitted to each

and other markings as to the availability of parking space, the
issuance of appropriate stickers identifying vehicles, reservation

traffic and the abuse of parking privileges on said streets. The
Attorney General shall assist the Director of the Office of
Management and Enterprise Services in the preparation of said
regulations. Such regulations shall be enforced by the Highway
Patrol Division of the Department of Public Safety and by the police
of the City of Oklahoma City or other peace officers. The authority
