A.
There is hereby created in North Versailles Township specific parking
spaces to be determined and located which will be available only for
parking motor vehicles bearing a "handicapped" or "severely disabled
veteran" vehicle registration plate or which displays a "handicapped"
or "severely disabled veteran" parking placard as such are prescribed
by the Motor Vehicle Code.[1] Such vehicles must be then used solely for transportation
of a handicapped person or a severely disabled veteran. In such instances
parking shall not be limited to 60 minutes. Such license plate must
be affixed to the vehicle or such placard must be readily visible
from without the vehicle.
[1]
Editor's Note: See 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 101 et seq.
B.
The Township Commissioners may from time to time designate handicapped parking spaces as near as practicable to the residence of a handicapped person or a severely disabled veteran upon the written request of such person. Thereafter, following the erection of appropriate signage in accordance with the Motor Vehicle Code, that space may only be used by persons who are in fact disabled persons or severely handicapped veterans in compliance with Subsection A. The Township shall be under no obligation to create such spaces, but may do so in its sole discretion considering all the circumstances.
C.
Such handicapped parking spaces described in Subsection B or in any other area within the Township either on private or public property may be made, approved or disapproved by simple resolution. They shall become effective upon erection of appropriate signage in accordance with the Motor Vehicle Code.
D.
Owners of private commercial property using that property for the
invitation to the public in general may likewise establish handicapped
parking spaces in accordance with this section. Such spaces shall
have erected thereon signs indicating the restricted type parking
spaces in accordance with the Motor Vehicle Code. Thereafter, violations
as provided for herein for the unauthorized use may be enforced as
a violation of this section. The owner must erect signs in accordance
with the Motor Vehicle Code; the erection of such signs shall be deemed
to be a dedication by the owner during the time when the sign is present
that space is devoted to handicapped parking as defined and circumscribed
herein.
E.
Handicapped persons and severely disabled veterans shall have the
right to issue statements to violators and violating vehicles for
the violation of this section. The form of such statement shall be
prescribed and prepared by the North Versailles Township Chief of
Police.
F.
Penalties. Penalties prescribed shall be those penalties as set forth
in the Motor Vehicle Code, as amended from time to time.
It shall be unlawful for any person to stop, stand or park a
vehicle (other than a pedalcycle) on the roadway side of any vehicle
stopped or parked at the edge or curb of any street, except that standing
or parking for the purpose of loading or unloading persons or property
shall be permitted Monday through Saturday, between the hours of 9:00
a.m. and 11:30 a.m. and between the hours of 1:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.,
and for no longer than necessary for the loading or unloading.
