[Amended 4-20-1994 by Ord. No. 674]
A.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall
be no parking upon streets or sections of streets where temporary
EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs are displayed. The Chief of Police is authorized
to declare an emergency and to direct posting of the aforementioned
signs when weather conditions, accidents, fires or public celebrations
dictate or require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions which
interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification that the EMERGENCY
NO PARKING signs are being posted or will be posted shall be given
to the operator or owner of any vehicle which has been parked prior
to the posting of the signs.
B.
Whenever snow has fallen and accumulation is such that it covers
the street or highway, no vehicle shall be parked on either side of
any street or part thereof within the Township. The above parking
prohibition shall remain in effect 24 hours after the snow has ceased
and until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent
that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic. It
shall be unnecessary during a snow emergency for the Police Department
to post EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs.
[Amended 6-17-2015 by Ord. No. 1088-15]
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in
violation of this Article shall be deemed a nuisance and menace to
the safe and proper regulation of traffic, and any peace officer may
provide for the removal and storage which may result from such removal.
Before regaining possession of the vehicle, the owner shall pay the
reasonable costs of the removal and storage which may result from
such removal and will also be subject to the penalties provided for
in this chapter.
The effectiveness of this Article is contingent
upon signs being erected as required by law.
