[Adopted 5-5-1986 as Title Two, Ch. VII of the 1986 Code]
Traffic control orders are the means by which
the city shall regulate the use of public streets and rights-of-way
in order to ensure all users are allowed to use them equitably and
safely. Temporary traffic control orders are intended to allow the
establishment of short-term measures, while permanent traffic control
orders establish the long-term uses after legislative review.
A.
Temporary traffic control orders may be issued by
the Chief of Police.
B.
The Chief of Police, in consultation with the Municipal Services Director or designee, may issue temporary traffic control orders for the purpose of posting temporary weight restrictions on certain roads during spring freeze/thaw conditions, in accordance with § 284-33.
[Added 6-4-2007 by Ord. No. 10-07]
A traffic control order is a written order describing
a specific situation or problem and establishing a suitable regulation
to control it. The order shall state the specific action required
and the signs which must be posted informing the public of the required
action.
A.
A traffic control order shall become effective when
filed with the City Clerk and when the required signs are posted.
The City Clerk shall maintain a permanent file of traffic control
orders. A temporary traffic control order shall expire no more than
90 days after filing with the City Clerk and may not be renewed.
B.
A new temporary traffic control order may be issued
for the same purpose only when required to deal with a situation temporary
in nature, such as a parade, special sale or the like, but not for
the purpose of avoiding establishment of a permanent order.
A traffic control order shall be made permanent
by a resolution of the City Council. The City Council may initiate
temporary or permanent traffic control orders. The City Clerk shall
note any temporary traffic control order which is made permanent.
