[Amended 10-18-2010 by Ord. No. HR-386]
In order to facilitate the movement of traffic and to combat
the hazards of snow and ice on streets of the Township, the Township
Manager or an individual authorized by the Board of Supervisors, in
his or her discretion, may declare a snow or ice emergency (hereinafter
referred to as a "snow emergency"). Information on the existence of
a snow emergency may be given by the Township through available Township
and public media, such as public access TV, Tredyffrin Township website/Facebook/Twitter,
RSAN, radio, newspaper, or other available media, and information
on the termination of the emergency shall be given by the use of the
same media.
After any snow emergency is declared, it shall be unlawful,
at any time during the continuance of the emergency, for any person,
firm or corporation:
A.
To park a motor vehicle or to allow that vehicle to remain parked
anywhere on any snow emergency route designated pursuant to this article;
B.
To drive any vehicle on any such snow emergency route unless that
vehicle is equipped with snow tires, chains, or other suitable traction
devices; or
C.
To drive any vehicle which then becomes stuck on any snow emergency
route during a snow emergency because of or related to the failure
of that vehicle to be equipped with snow tires, chains, or other suitable
traction devices.
The streets or parts of streets described in Schedule XIX (§ 195-68) are hereby designated as snow emergency routes.
A.
Township and state police are hereby authorized to have any vehicle
parked in violation of this article towed away without further notice
at the expense of the owner of said vehicle.
D.
Continuation of such violation for each successive day shall constitute
a separate offense, and the person, firm or corporation allowing or
permitting the continuation of a violation may be punished as provided
above for each separate offense.
