No person shall operate or shall permit or suffer
to be operated a motor-driven vehicle within the Township of Moorestown
under the following circumstances:
A.
On the private property of another without the prior
express written consent of the owner, lessee and lawful occupant of

of the operator of said motor-driven vehicle and available for immediate
inspection during all periods of said operation.
