In order to facilitate the movement of traffic
and to combat the hazards of snow and ice on the snow emergency routes
named pursuant to this article, the Mayor, or his designated representative,
in his discretion, may declare a snow and ice emergency (designated
in this article as a "snow emergency"). Information on the existence
of a snow emergency may be given by the Borough through radio, newspaper
or other available media, and information on the termination of the
emergency may be given by use of the same media.
After any snow emergency is declared, it shall
be unlawful, at any time during the continuance of the emergency,
for any person:
A. To park a motor vehicle or to allow that vehicle to
remain parked anywhere on any snow emergency route designated pursuant
to this article; or
B. To drive any motor vehicle on any such snow emergency
route unless that vehicle is equipped with snow tires or chains.
The streets or parts of streets described in Schedule XVIII (§
212-75), attached to and made a part of this chapter, are hereby designated as snow emergency routes.
