Notwithstanding provisions of the Monterey City ordinance to the contrary, the City Council may, by resolution, exempt shuttle tram vehicles from compliance with certain and various local ordinances restricting vehicular traffic from sidewalks, walkways, malls, parks, wharves, greenbelt, open space, and other areas where vehicular traffic is restricted or prohibited. Vehicles so exempt shall comply with all other laws and ordinances relating to safe operation including, but not limited to, normal “rules of the road”, and such vehicles will yield the right of way to pedestrians using the same pedestrian access areas.
