All traffic and parking regulations of a permanent nature shall
be enacted as ordinances, as parts of ordinances, as amendments to
ordinances, or as amendments to this chapter, except where the law
specifically authorizes less formal action.
The provisions of this chapter, so far as they are the same
as those of ordinances and regulations in force immediately before
the enactment of this chapter, are intended as a continuation of those
earlier ordinances and regulations, and not as new enactments. Nothing
in this chapter shall affect any act done or liability incurred, or
any suit or prosecution pending or to be instituted under any of those
repealed or superseded ordinances or regulations.
The Borough Council may, from time to time by resolution, designate
places upon and along the highways in the Borough where, for a period
of not more than 90 days, specific traffic and/or parking regulations,
prohibitions and restrictions shall be in force and effect, and shall
designate such locations by proper signs and markings. Such regulations,
prohibitions and restrictions shall be effective as if they had been
specified in this chapter. No person shall operate or park a vehicle
or tractor in violation of any such regulation, prohibition or restriction,
and no person shall move, remove, destroy or deface any sign or marking
erected, posted or made by authority of this section. Any person who
shall violate any provision of this section shall, upon conviction
thereof, be subject to the penalty set forth in the law or elsewhere
in this chapter for a violation of such nature, and in case of a violation
for which no specific penalty is set forth in the law or elsewhere
in this chapter, to a fine of not more than $25 together with costs
of prosecution; provided, the purpose of this section is to allow
for the test and experimental determination of the feasibility and
desirability of permanent changes in the ordinances of the Borough
of Muncy relative to traffic and parking.
The police officers of the Borough of Muncy are hereby given
authority to direct traffic on the highways of the Borough and at
intersections thereof.
The Street Committee of the Borough Council is hereby given
the authority to determine and establish reduced speed zones, parking
prohibitions, restrictions and regulations upon streets, alleys, trafficways,
and highways within the Borough of Muncy. The Street Committee also
has the authority to make changes, deletions and additions in any
such areas. The Street Committee shall have the authority to cause
to be erected or removed, as the case may be, official signs and signals
necessary to give notice of, and to direct traffic under such prohibitions,
restrictions and regulations. The Street Committee shall report to
the Council, at its next regular meeting thereafter, all such actions
taken by such Committee, and, if confirmed at such meeting by the
Borough Council, all such prohibitions, restrictions and regulations
shall be effective just as if each one had been specifically set out
in this chapter.
