All traffic and parking regulations of a permanent
nature shall be enacted as ordinances, as parts of ordinances, as
amendments to ordinances, or as amendments to this chapter.
The provisions of this chapter, so far as they
are the same as those of ordinances in force immediately prior to
the adoption of Chapter 15 of the 1983 Code of Ordinances, are intended
as a continuation of such ordinances and regulations and not as new
enactments. The provisions of this chapter shall not affect any act
done or liability incurred, nor shall they affect any suit or prosecution
pending or to be instituted to enforce any right or penalty or to
punish any offense under any such ordinances or regulations as aforesaid.
The Board of Supervisors may, from time to time,
designate places upon and along the highways 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 such locations by proper signs and markings. Such
regulations, prohibitions and restrictions shall be effective just
as 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 shall violate any provision of this
section shall, upon conviction thereof, be liable to the penalty set
forth in the law or elsewhere in this chapter for a violation of such
nature, and in 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 together with costs of prosecution; provided, the
purpose of this section is to allow for the 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 West Whiteland Township
are hereby given authority to direct traffic on the highways of the
Township and at intersections thereof.
