All traffic and parking regulations of a permanent
nature shall be enacted as ordinances, as parts of ordinances, as
amendments to ordinances, or as amendments to this chapter, except
where the law specifically authorizes less formal action.
The provisions of this chapter, so far as they
are the same as those of ordinances and regulations in force immediately
before the enactment of this chapter, are intended as a continuation
of those earlier ordinances and regulations, and not as new enactments.
Nothing in this chapter shall affect any act done or liability incurred,
or any suit or prosecution pending or to be instituted under any of
those repealed or superseded ordinances or regulations.
The Borough Council may, from time to time by
resolution, designate places upon and along the highways in the Borough
of Denver where, for a period of not more than 90 days, specific traffic
and/or parking regulations, prohibitions and restrictions shall be
in force and effect, and shall designate such locations by proper
signs and markings. Such regulations, prohibitions and restrictions
shall be effective as if they had been specified in this chapter.
No person shall operate or park a vehicle or tractor in violation
of any such regulation, prohibition or restriction, and no person
shall move, remove, destroy or deface any sign or marking erected,
posted or made by authority of this section. Any person who shall
violate any provision of this section shall, upon conviction thereof,
be subject to the penalty set forth in the law or elsewhere in this
chapter for a violation of such nature, and in case of a violation
for which no specific penalty is set forth in the law or elsewhere
in this chapter, to a fine of not more than $25 together with costs
of prosecution; provided, the purpose of this section is to allow
for the test and experimental determination of the feasibility and
desirability of permanent changes in the ordinances of the Borough
of Denver relative to traffic and parking.
The police officers are hereby authorized to
direct traffic on the highways of the Borough of Denver and at intersections
thereof and to otherwise enforce the provisions of this chapter.
