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 or §
400-8 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 that 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 the 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.
The Public Safety Committee shall have authority to make rules
for the administration of traffic and parking regulations as established
by law or ordinance; to establish and designate crosswalks, traffic
lanes, safety zones, spaces exclusively reserved for parking by handicapped
individuals, and prohibited turning movements, by appropriate signs
or markings; to determine and designate the character, location and
use of all official traffic equipment, islands, markings or other
appurtenances necessary for the traffic regulation and direction,
and to place, maintain, operate, remove and replace all official traffic
equipment.
