[Added 5-25-2006 by Ord. No. 2006-32]
The preamble to the ordinance adopting this
article reads as follows:
A.
Whereas, the Borough of Fort Lee ("Borough") is faced
with unique traffic issues and a high volume of vehicles due to its
proximity to the George Washington Bridge and several major highways;
B.
Whereas, slow-moving vehicles on Borough roadways
add to the problem and increase gridlock in the Borough;
C.
Whereas, a low-speed vehicle ("LSV") is a four-wheeled
vehicle, as defined in 49 CFR § 571.3(b), whose attainable
speed is more than 20 miles per hour and no more than 25 miles per
hour on a paved level surface. LSVs are not powered by gas or diesel
fuel and must comply with federal safety standards as noted in 49
CFR § 571.500;
D.
Whereas, New Jersey municipalities may ban LSVs on
all their roadways by ordinance; and
E.
Whereas, the Borough has found that banning LSVs from
the roadways is necessary to make sure that Borough traffic problems
are not exacerbated.
Chapter 388 of the Borough Code, commonly known as "Vehicles and Traffic," shall be amended to include language banning the operation of LSVs on Borough roads.
