All traffic and parking regulations of a permanent
nature shall be enacted as ordinances or as parts of ordinances or
as amendments to ordinances of Limerick Township, except where the
law specifically authorizes less formal action.
The Board of Supervisors may, from time to time,
designate places upon and along the streets in the Township where,
for a period of not more than 90 days, specific traffic and/or parking
regulations, prohibitions and restrictions shall be in force and effect
and shall designate those locations by proper signs and markings.
Those regulations, prohibitions and restrictions shall be effective
just as if they had been specified in this chapter. No person shall
operate or park a vehicle or tractor in violation of any such regulation,
prohibition or restriction, and no person shall move, remove, destroy
or deface any sign or marking erected, posted or made by authority
of this section. Any person who violates any provision of this section
shall, upon conviction, be liable to the penalty set out in the law
or elsewhere in this chapter for a violation of that nature and, in
the case of a violation for which no specific penalty is set forth
in the law or elsewhere in this chapter, to a fine of not more than
$25 and costs and, in default of payment of such fine and costs, to
imprisonment for not more than five days. The purpose of this section
is to allow for tests and experimental determination of the feasibility
and desirability of permanent changes in the ordinances of the Township
relative to traffic and parking.
The police officers of the Township shall have
the authority to direct traffic on the streets in the Township, at
intersections in public and in other places where the Vehicle Code
or this chapter applies.
