If any vehicle is found upon any street or highway
in violation of any provisions of this chapter and the identity of
the driver cannot be determined, the owner or the person in whose
name such vehicle is registered shall be held prima facie responsible
for such violation.
Any person convicted of a violation of any rule,
regulation or order made hereunder, except as otherwise provided,
shall be punished by a fine not exceeding twenty dollars ($20.) for
each offense.
These rules are adopted with the intent that
each of them shall have force and effect separately and independently
of every other, except insofar as by express reference or necessary
implication any rule or any part of a rule is made dependent upon
another rule or part thereof.
[Amended 11-16-2021 STM by Art. 4]
The provisions of these rules so far as they
are the same in effect as those of any valid existing rules, orders
or regulations heretofore made by the Select Board of Westminster
relative to or in connection with official signs, lights, markings,
signal systems or devices shall be construed as a continuation thereof,
but all other existing rules, orders and regulations so made for the
regulation of vehicles are hereby expressly repealed. This repeal,
however, shall not affect any punishment or penalty imposed or complaint
or prosecution pending at the time of the passage hereof for an offense
committed under any of the valid rules, orders or regulations hereby
repealed.
