A.
A snow emergency shall exist and no vehicle shall be parked on any street or highway within the Township of Delanco whenever a forecast for the Philadelphia area predicting an accumulation of two inches or more has been broadcast on television or radio or published in the Burlington County Times. Said forecast will serve as formal notice of a snow emergency. Posting of emergency no-parking signs and notification of vehicle owners as outlined in § 295-21 will be waived for snow emergencies.
B.
Whenever parking shall be prohibited under this section,
and in order to facilitate the plowing and removal of snow accumulation,
the occupants of a property that has off-street parking are required
to remove all vehicles from the street or highway. Vehicles of the
property owner may be temporarily parked on the landscaped front yard
portion of a property where vehicles cannot be accommodated by off-street
parking. In areas where sufficient off-street parking is not available,
all vehicles must be moved to plowed areas within 12 hours at the
end of the snowfall.
C.
The parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after
the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently
and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal
flow of traffic or with snow plowing or removal operations.
D.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation
of this section shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe
and proper regulation of traffic, and any police officer may provide
for the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the costs of
the removal and storage which may result from the removal before regaining
possession of the vehicle.
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, or
in his or her absence the ranking police officer, is authorized to
declare an emergency and to direct the posting of said emergency no-parking
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.
B.
Notification that the emergency no-parking signs are
being 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.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in
violation of this article shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace
to the safe and proper regulation of traffic, and any peace officer
may provide for the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the
reasonable costs of the removal and storage which may result from
such removal, before regaining possession of the vehicle.
The effectiveness of this article is contingent
upon signs being erected as required by law.
