Pursuant to the provisions of the Vehicle and
Traffic Law, power is hereby delegated to the Board of Trustees of
the Village of Pomona, New York, to exercise by resolution, order,
rule or regulation the following powers granted to the legislative
body of this Village in Article 39 of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
Any resolution, order, rule or regulation which affects state highway
traffic is subject, however, to approval pursuant to § 1684
of the Vehicle and Traffic Law and § 46 of the Highway Law.
A. Designate through highways and order stop signs, flashing
signals or yield signs erected at specified entrances thereto, or
designate any intersection as a stop intersection or a yield intersection
and order like signs or signals at one or more entrances to such intersection.
B. Prohibit or regulate the turning of vehicles or specified
types of vehicles at intersections or other designated locations.
C. Regulate the crossing of any roadway by pedestrians.
D. Designate any highway or any separate roadway thereof
for one-way traffic.
E. Exclude trucks, commercial vehicles, tractors, tractor-trailer
combinations and trucks in excess of any designated weight from designated
highways.
F. Determine those highways or portions of highways which
shall be marked to indicate where overtaking and passing or driving
to the left of the roadway would be especially hazardous, in accordance
with the standards, minimum warrants and signs or marking specifications
established by the State Traffic Commission.
H. Establish a system of truck routes upon which all
trucks, tractors and tractor-trailer combinations having a total gross
weight in excess of 10,000 pounds shall be permitted to travel and
operate and exclude such vehicles and combinations from all highways
except those which constitute such truck route system. Such exclusion
shall not be construed to prevent the delivery or pickup of merchandise
or other property along the highways from which such vehicles and
combinations are otherwise excluded. Any such system of truck routes
shall provide suitable connections with all state routes entering
or leaving such Village.
I. Regulate traffic by means of traffic control signals.
J. License, regulate or prohibit processions, assemblages
or parades. Whenever such a procession, assemblage or parade authorized
by a local authority will block the movement of traffic on a state
highway maintained by the state or on a highway which connects two
state highways maintained by the state to make through route for a
period in excess of 10 minutes, such authority must, prior to such
blocking, provide and designate with conspicuous signs a detour adequate
to prevent unreasonable delay in the movement of traffic on said highway
maintained by the state.
K. Prohibit or regulate the operation and the stopping,
standing or parking of vehicles in cemeteries and in public parks.
L. Provide for the removal and storage of vehicles parked
or abandoned on highways during snowstorms, floods, fires or other
public emergencies or found unattended where they constitute an obstruction
to traffic or any place where stopping, standing or parking is prohibited,
and for the payment of reasonable charges for such removal and storage
by the owner or operator of any such vehicle.
M. Promulgate such additional orders, rules or regulations
with respect to traffic as local conditions may require, subject to
the limitations contained in this chapter and the various laws of
the State of New York.
N. Promulgate such regulations as will prohibit, restrict
or limit the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles upon property
owned by or leased by this Village or upon privately owned property
not leased by this Village but used either by the Village or subject
to use by public vehicles.
O. Prohibit, restrict or regulate the operation of vehicles
on any controlled access highway or the use of any controlled access
highway by any vehicle, device moved by human power or pedestrian
except where prohibited by state law or, where the prior consent of
the State Traffic Commission is required, only when such consent is
obtained.
P. Authorize angle parking on any roadway except where
prohibited by state law or, where the prior consent of the State Traffic
Commission is required, only when such consent is obtained.
Q. Upon a roadway which is divided into three lanes,
allocate the center lane exclusively for traffic moving in a specified
direction.
R. Order signs erected directing slow-moving traffic,
trucks, buses or specified types of vehicles to use a designated lane,
or with signs, signals or markings designate those lanes to be used
by traffic moving in a particular direction regardless of the center
of the roadway.
