The color of such decals shall be changed annually. Additionally, all emergency ambulances shall have the name of the ambulance service prominently displayed on both exterior sides.

It shall be unlawful to operate an ambulance on the streets of the city without having such decals affixed and, in the case of an emergency ambulance, without having the name of the ambulance service displayed as required by this section.
