[Ord. 3-2014, 11/12/2014]
The Township recognizes that, during periods of weather emergency,
specifically that period of time during which snow and ice and/or
freezing rain or sleet is falling, there is created the necessity
for Township roads to be salted and/or plowed. The Township recognizes
further that motor vehicles left wholly or partially on the Township
cartways or rights-of-way during such periods of weather emergency
represent a traffic hazard and obstruction to adequate clearing of
the roads.
[Ord. 3-2014, 11/12/2014]
The Board of Supervisors determines that it shall be a nuisance
for any motor vehicle, whether registered or unregistered, to be left
wholly or partially on the cartways or rights-of-way at any time when
snow, sleet, freezing rain or ice is falling or has stopped falling
and continues to require removal either by salting or plowing from
the roadway. This restriction shall be in effect regardless of any
official action to declare an emergency. The falling of frozen or
freezing precipitation shall trigger the effective period of this
Part.
[Ord. 3-2014, 11/12/2014]
Signs identifying the restriction may be posted in accordance
with statutory requirement; however, evidence of the signs will not
be required for prosecution.
[Ord. 3-2014, 11/12/2014]
1.
Any vehicle so discovered shall receive a warning initially. Upon
the owner's, operator's or controller's failure to
remove the vehicle within a twenty-four-hour period, the owner of
the vehicle shall be fined $50 for each twenty-four-hour period that
the vehicle remains illegally parked.
2.
Any individual or entity that receives either a warning or a fine
during one such weather emergency shall have his/her fine doubled
upon violating the order during a second such emergency within a six-month
period.
[Ord. 3-2014, 11/12/2014]
The Roadmaster and/or his deputy emergency laborers shall be
the enforcement officers for this Part.
