Findings. The Council of the Borough of Lake City of Erie County, Pennsylvania, finds as fact that the operation of a brake retarder on a motor vehicle so as to create excessive noise through the use of said brake retarder adversely affects the public health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Borough, and is therefore a nuisance in fact.

(2) 
This section shall not apply to emergency driving situations requiring the utilization of an engine brake to protect the safety and property of the residents of the Borough, other motor vehicle operators, pedestrians, and the operator and passengers of the motor vehicle involved in said emergency situations.
F. 
Signage. Signs shall be posted in appropriate places advising motor vehicle operators of the prohibition against the use of engine retarding devices consistent with this section.
G. 
Penalty. Any person, persons, firm, corporation, association, organization or entity who or which violate any of the provisions of this section, upon summary conviction, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $300, reasonable attorney's fees incurred by the Borough, plus costs of prosecution, and, in default of the payment thereof, be sentenced to undergo imprisonment as allowed by law for the punishment of a summary offense.
