[Amended 12-14-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-10]
A. Whenever snow has fallen or ice has formed on a road
surface and the accumulation is such that it covers a street or highway,
an emergency shall be deemed to exist and no vehicle shall be parked
on any streets in the Borough, whether paved or unpaved, or portion
thereof.
B. The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect
after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed or sufficiently
treated to the extent that parking will not interfere with snow removal,
roadway treatment operations, or the normal flow of traffic.
[Amended 12-14-2022 by Ord. No. 2022-10]
A. The Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking
police officer, is authorized to declare an emergency when other 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. Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall
be no parking upon streets or parts of streets where temporary EMERGENCY
NO PARKING signs are displayed.
C. 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.
