B.
Such signs shall be at least three feet high by four
feet wide, with red lettering of a size not less than above indicated
upon a white background. The words "police enforcement" and "under
penalty of law" on such signs shall be construed, among other things,
to mean a request by the owner or lessee that the police or special
patrolmen shall enforce the provisions of this article against persons
parking, standing, storing or leaving vehicles on such premises without
the consent of the owner or lessee and that the police are authorized
to enter upon such premises to enforce the provisions of this article.
Such signs shall state the conditions of parking or the persons authorized
by the owners or lessee to use said premises for parking, or both;
and persons included within such authorization, or violating the regulations
and conditions set out on said signs, shall be deemed to be using
said promises unlawfully without the authority and consent of the
owner or lessee.
This article may be enforced by the police or
special patrolmen in the same manner as elsewhere provided for in
the traffic ordinances of the Town of Cheektowaga for the enforcement
of traffic or parking ordinances, including the use of tags, summonses
and any other procedures authorized by law.
Proof of ownership of a vehicle shall be presumptive
evidence in an action for enforcement of this article that the owner
parked or caused his vehicle to be parked on such premises.
A.
On demand of a police officer, any owner or lessee
requesting police enforcement of this article shall furnish to the
police officer a statement in writing, signed by him or his agent,
to the effect that a specified vehicle was unlawfully parked, stored
or left upon his premises at a certain time or during a certain period
without his consent or permission. Such owner or lessee shall be available
to testify to such facts in court at the request of the police.
B.
Failure of an owner or lessee to comply with the request
of the police as above set out shall be sufficient cause for the Chief
of Police or his subordinates to ceases enforcing this article on
behalf of an owner or lessee who fails to give the cooperation required
herein.
A.
No person shall stop, stand or park a vehicle in any
of the following areas designated as places for handicapped parking
