[Added at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)]
(1) 
Complete an education program, except that a holder of a valid commercial driver's license who commits a vehicle weight or size restriction violation shall not be required to complete an education program under this subsection.

The penalty provided in this article shall be applicable to every section of this City Code, the same as though it were a part of each and every separate section. Any person convicted of a violation of any section of this City Code where any duty is prescribed or obligation imposed or where any act which is of a continuing nature or declared to be unlawful shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is created by different clauses or sections of this City Code, the prosecuting officer may elect under which to proceed; but not more than one recovery shall be had against the same person for the same offense; provided that the revocation of a license or permit shall not be considered a recovery or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced.
C. 
Whenever the doing of any act or the omission to do any act constitutes a breach of any section or provision of this City Code, and there shall be no fine or penalty specifically declared for such breach, the provisions of this article shall apply and a separate offense shall be deemed committed upon each day during or on which a breach or violation occurs or continues.[1]
