After any snow emergency is declared and/or upon the accumulation of three inches of ice or snow, it shall be unlawful, at any time during the continuance of the emergency, for any person to park a motor vehicle or to allow that vehicle to remain parked anywhere on any snow emergency route designated in § 15-603 of this Part 6.
2.
When a snow emergency has been declared due to accumulation pursuant to § 15-603, Subsection 2, below, it shall be unlawful to park any vehicle on streets throughout the Township, which are not specifically contained to § 15-603, Subsection 1, until the snow has been completely plowed for the full width of the cartway.
