thereof in an action brought before a magisterial district judge in
the manner provided for the enforcement of summary offenses under
the Pennsylvania Rules of Criminal Procedure, shall be sentenced to
pay a fine of not more than $1,000 plus costs and, in default of payment

section of this article which shall be found to have been violated
shall constitute a separate offense.
None of the terms or prohibitions hereof shall apply to or be
enforced against:
A. Any vehicle or personnel of the Borough while engaged upon necessary
public business, and/or emergency vehicles such as police, ambulance
and fire companies.
B. Excavations or repairs of bridges, streets or highways by or on behalf

and/or music.

upon conviction thereof, be punishable by a fine of not more than
$300 and costs of such proceedings or, upon default of payment of
such fine and costs, by imprisonment in the county jail for a term
of not more than 30 days; provided, however, that if the District
Justice determines that the defendant is without financial means to
pay the fines and costs immediately or in a single remittance, such
defendant shall be permitted to pay the fines or costs in installments
and over such periods of time as the District Justice deems to be
just.
