[Adopted 11-7-1983 by Ord. No. 97 (Ch.
15, Part 3, of the 1983 Code of Ordinances)]
The boundary limits of the Township of West
Whiteland are hereby established as a zone in which motor vehicles
may remain standing without lights, and all highways within such boundary
limits are hereby designated as highways where motor vehicles may
remain standing without lights.
The loading and unloading of goods, wares and
merchandise is hereby restricted to such length of time as is absolutely
necessary for the purpose of loading or unloading of such goods, wares
and merchandise. For the purpose of enforcement of this section, such
loading or unloading of any vehicle shall not be considered as parking;
provided, without having first obtained permission from the Chief
of Police to do so, no person shall load or unload a vehicle from
any place upon any street or alley in the Township where parking is
prohibited; or shall allow a vehicle to remain, for loading or unloading,
in any place upon any street or alley where parking is limited as
to time, for longer than the time for which parking is permitted;
or shall load or unload upon any street or alley in such a way that
one lane for vehicular traffic shall not be kept open at all times.
Where such permission is granted by the Chief of Police, he may, at
his discretion, block off the portion of the street or alley affected
by such loading or unloading.
No person shall stop, stand or park any vehicle,
unattended, on any public road or highway of the Township, in any
manner or fashion that would prevent or delay the immediate and rapid
movement of emergency vehicles, to include fire, ambulance and police
apparatus. Based on the widest emergency vehicle that would be called
upon to respond to an emergency, not less than 10 feet of travelable
highway surface will be required to facilitate this emergency movement.
A.
Wherever a particular parking space shall be lined
or marked off on any street or alley or upon the adjacent curb, every
vehicle parked shall be parked within the lines marking such parking
space. All vehicles parked on streets or alleys whether parking spaces
are marked or not shall be parked only in the direction of the permitted
traffic flow.
B.
Parking shall be prohibited at all times by any vehicle
which in any way will block the intersection of any street or alley
or the entrance or exit of any street or alley. Parking shall at all
times be prohibited within the painted line area adjacent to any fire
hydrant; within the painted line area marking the permissible distance
to park from any intersection; in any area where erected signs or
painted lines indicate a "No Parking" area; in any area designated
as a parking location for handicapped persons, unless the vehicle
to be parked displays a current valid registration plate which utilizes
the internationally recognized handicapped person designation; in
any manner so as to block any private or public driveway or accessway
to a parking lot or parking facility or other facility of the Township.
