Any word or phrase used or referenced herein shall be interpreted in accordance with its definition and usage as set forth in Title 67 of the Pennsylvania Code and 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 101 et seq.
The Board of Supervisors of Salem Township finds that a restriction of stopping and parking on SR 191 in front of the Hamlin Elementary Center is necessary for the health, welfare and safety of elementary school students and the general traveling public, and that an ordinance should be enacted restricting stopping, standing and parking in said area. Specifically, the engineering and traffic study undertaken by the Department of Transportation pursuant to § 201.21(b)(1) and (b)(8) of Chapter 67 of the Pennsylvania Code observed and documented a need to restrict vehicles from stopping, standing and parking on SR 191 in front of the Hamlin Elementary Center by installing required signing.
No person shall park or momentarily halt a vehicle, except when necessary to avoid conflict with traffic or in compliance with the directions of a police officer or traffic control device, on those portions of SR 191 posted by no stopping or standing signs.
The Salem Township Board of Supervisors directs that no stopping or standing signs shall be purchased and erected on SR 191 in accordance with and as depicted by the illustration included in the engineering and traffic study of the Department of Transportation, dated October 13, 1994. A copy of said illustration is attached hereto and incorporated herein.[1]
