[Amended 6-6-2000 by Ord. No. 121-00]
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Any time snow removal is conducted by the Township either
by plowing or by the spreading of cinders, salt or antiskid materials.
During a snow emergency as defined in this article,
it shall be unlawful to park motor vehicles, boats, campers, trailers
or otherwise obstruct the roadway so as to prevent snow removal to
the edge of the roadway. Parking along the roadway is only permitted
after a snow emergency is no longer in effect.
Obstructions to snow removal during a snow emergency
may be towed, in which case the owner of the obstruction shall be
liable to pay all costs associated with towing and storage. In addition,
the owner of the offending obstruction may be ticketed for violating
the provisions of this article and, upon the issuance of a citation
and conviction by a District Justice, shall be guilty of a summary
offense and shall pay a fine of not less than $25 nor more than $600.
Each day a violation exists shall be considered a separate violation,
subject to the same fines as set forth above. It shall not be necessary
to issue a separate citation for each day of violation, but one citation
shall be sufficient to cover multiple days of obstructions. The Board
of Supervisors hereby authorizes the Township Manager, Township Roadmaster,
Assistant Township Roadmaster and Township police officers to issue
citations for violations of this article.
