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 this Borough, except where the law
specifically authorizes less formal action for the purpose.
Council may, from time to time, designate places
upon and along the streets in the Borough 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. These 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 forth in the law or elsewhere in this chapter for a violation
of the nature and, in case of a violation where no specific penalty
is set forth in the law or elsewhere in this chapter, to a fine of
$25 and costs. Provided, that 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 Borough
relative to traffic and parking.
The police officers of the Borough are given
authority to direct traffic on the streets in the Borough and at intersections
of those streets, in public parks and in other places where the Vehicle
Code or this chapter applies. Note: Section 3101 of the Vehicle Code makes it unlawful for any person wilfully to fail or refuse
to comply with any lawful order or directions of any uniformed police
officer, sheriff or constable or any appropriately attired person
authorized to direct, control or regulate traffic.
