As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicted:
A vehicle which is generally operated or driven upon a public
highway and which is propelled by any power other than muscular power,
except electrically driven mobility assistance devices operated or
driven by a person with a disability.
No motor vehicle shall be parked or stopped
in an area of the public right-of-way designated and used as a pedestrian
sidewalk in the Borough of Media.
No portion of curbing in the Borough of Media
shall be cut or overpaved for the purpose and use of the traversing
of vehicles from the cartway onto property adjacent to the curbed
area or area in which a pedestrian sidewalk is located without a license.
Crossing a sidewalk area and traversing a curbed area by a motor vehicle
without a curb cut and driveway license permit is forbidden. Licenses
therefor shall be issued upon application to the Secretary of the
Borough of Media.
No license shall issue without submission of
plans for the construction of the curb cut and for the paving of the
driveway area in such a manner that the curbing and sidewalks of the
Borough of Media will be adequately protected and preserved. All plans
shall show the dimensions and location of the hard-surfaced parking
area upon which motor vehicles are to be parked. All hard-surfaced
parking areas shall meet the Borough specifications for the paving
of parking areas, a copy of which is maintained in the office of the
Secretary of the Borough of Media.
No license shall issue for the construction
of a motor vehicle parking area if the parking of vehicles in such
area will create a hazard and threat to the safety of persons in the
Borough of Media.
All motor vehicle parking areas, if feasible,
shall be designed so as to permit vehicles to enter upon and leave
the parking area moving in a forward direction so as to avoid motor
vehicles backing across a pedestrian sidewalk and backing into the
flow of traffic.
Nothing herein is intended to apply to existing
paved driveways, parking areas and existing curb cut areas. This article
is intended to regulate the traversing of all sidewalks and curbing
and paving of unpaved parking areas in the Borough of Media.
This article shall be effective within 30 days
of enactment. Notice of the enactment shall be given by posting a
