Although the streets in the Township run generally
in a northeast-southwest and northwest-southeast direction, for the
purpose of this chapter, Doylestown Road (Rt. 202), DeKalb Pike (Rt.
202) and Upper State Road and the streets running parallel or generally
parallel to these streets shall be deemed to run in a north-south
direction, and Horsham Road - Cowpath Road and the streets parallel
or generally parallel to Horsham Road - Cowpath Road shall be deemed
to run in an east-west direction. Bethlehem Pike (Rt. 309) will be
considered a north-south route.
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 the Township of Montgomery 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
drive or park a vehicle 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 case of a violation
for which no specific penalty is set out in the law or elsewhere in
this chapter, to a fine of $25 and costs, provided that the purpose
of this section is to allow for test 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
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.
