[Adopted 9-9-2003 by Ord. No. 03-08 (Ch. 82, Part 8, of
the 1966 Code)]
No person shall operate or cause to be operated a motor-driven
vehicle over any curbing constructed and existing within the Borough
of Raritan, except where such curbing has been reduced in height for
the express purpose of allowing travel across it, in areas commonly
known as "cutaways" or "cutouts," without the express written permission
of the Borough. "Motor-driven vehicles" include any truck, car, motorcycle,
moped and/or any other motorized vehicle designed primarily for over-the-road
use. Emergency vehicles operated by police, fire and rescue departments
shall be exempt.
Whenever any person desires to travel over any curbing in contravention
of any of the provisions herein, such person must make written application
for such permission to the Property Maintenance Officer of the Borough
of Raritan, which application shall include the date or dates such
travel is necessary, the purpose for such travel, and the type or
types of vehicles that will be proceeding over the curbing. The Property
Maintenance Officer may require further information as deemed necessary.
All applications will be forwarded by the Property Maintenance Officer
to the Borough Engineer for review by the Borough Engineer. The Property
Maintenance Officer shall have the authority to issue or deny permission
for travel over curbing.
Any person violating any provision of this article shall, upon
conviction, be punished by a fine of not more than $200 for each such
violation.
