A.
A snow emergency requiring snow removal operations shall be deemed
to exist whenever:
(1)
The Director of Public Works is contacted by Central Communications
at the request of the Police Department;
(2)
The Department of Public Works is directed to begin snow removal
by the Township Manager;
(3)
The Burlington County Highway Department has begun winter weather
operations; and/or
(4)
Two inches of snow has accumulated.
B.
Whenever a snow emergency shall exist, no vehicle shall be parked
on any street or highway or portion thereof within the Township. The
above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow has
ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the
extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.
C.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation shall be deemed
a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic,
and any police officer may provide for the removal of such vehicle.
The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and storage
which may result from such removal before regaining possession of
the vehicle.
A.
In addition to the snow emergency provisions set forth in § 510-27, there shall be no parking upon streets or sections of streets where temporary emergency no-parking signs are displayed upon the declaration of an emergency. The Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking police officer is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct the posting of said emergency no-parking signs when weather conditions, accidents, fires or public celebrations dictate or require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the free flow of traffic.
B.
Notification that the emergency no-parking signs are being or will
be posted shall be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle which
has been parked prior to the posting of the signs.
C.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this article
shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation
of traffic, and any peace officer may provide for the removal of such
vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and
storage that may result from such removal before regaining possession
of the vehicle.
D.
The effectiveness of this article is contingent on signs being erected
as required by law.
