A.
Short title. This section shall be known and cited as the "Upper
Chichester Township All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Ordinance." This section
shall supplement Chapter 77 of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code.
B.
ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE (ATV)
Definition. As used in this section, the following terms shall have
the meanings indicated:
The same meaning as used in Section 7702 of the Vehicle Code,
75 Pa.C.S.A. § 7702, and shall include any unlicensed motorized
two-, three-, four-wheeled or track vehicle and including dirt bikes
(licensed or otherwise), minibikes, trail bikes, go-carts, and other
vehicles.
C.
Consent/prohibitions.
(1)
No person shall, except as provided herein, operate any of the above,
as hereinbefore defined, within the Township of Upper Chichester,
unless the user thereof has first given his name and address to the
owner or the lessee in possession of the premises where he intends
to operate and has obtained the written consent of such owner or lessee,
as the case maybe, on the form provided by the Township of Upper Chichester.
Prior to operating an ATV on such property, duplicate signed copies
of said consent shall be filed with the Township Secretary either
in person or by mail. No registration with the Township or filing
fee shall be required. The consent of the owner or lessee shall continue
in effect until the end of the consent year in which the consent is
obtained, as will be specified on said written consent, unless prior
thereto the owner or lessee in possession of the land shall revoke
such consent in writing. In granting such consent, the owner or lessee
may stipulate the type of ATV for which consent is granted.
(2)
No person shall operate, park, stop, stand, place or maintain any
all-terrain vehicle on any public sidewalk or any public property,
including without limitation any park or recreation facility, except
where expressly authorized by law; provided that the owner or a person
with lawful permission of the owner may temporarily place an all-terrain
vehicle on the sidewalk abutting his or her house or abutting any
premises where the vehicle is lawfully stored, for purposes of lawfully
transporting the vehicle to a location outside the Township. Nothing
in this section prohibits the lawful transport of an all-terrain vehicle
on a licensed trailer or other safe carrier, or the manual transport
of a vehicle onto or off of such carrier, so long as the motor engine
of the all-terrain vehicle remains off at all times.
(3)
Time limitations. It shall be unlawful for any person to operate
an ATV or dirt bike for recreational purposes between the hours of
9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., prevailing time. Operation of ATVs and dirt
bikes will be limited to a one-hour session with three-hour rest before
the next operation of the vehicle. The rest period must be provided
to prohibit disturbance of the peace within the Township. Operation
within this prohibited time period shall be considered a disturbance
of the peace and/or nuisance with the Township.
(4)
Noise limitation. No person shall operate an ATV or dirt bike without
an effective and suitable muffling device on its engine which efficiently
deadens or muffles the noise of the exhaust. Operation of an ATV or
dirt bike shall be subject to and compliant with the noise limitations,
restrictions and requirements as set forth in the Township and/or
state ordinances and statutes.
D.
Enforcement.
(1)
Notices of violation shall be issued by Upper Chichester police officers
or any other person authorized to enforce ordinances.
(2)
Enforcement; first offense. The Upper Chichester Township Police
Department, the Pennsylvania State Police and such persons as may
from time to time be designated by the Township are authorized to
make an initial determination of a violation of, and to enforce, the
provisions of this section. An initial determination of a violation
of this section shall result in a verbal warning to the occupant,
or owner and the operator of the ATV or dirt bike.
(3)
Penalties. A second or subsequent violation of this section shall
be subject to summary enforcement proceedings and upon being found
guilty thereof shall subject the violator to a fine of $600 for a
second offense (following a verbal warning), and $1,000 for a third
offense. Upon default in payment of a fine and upon a guilty finding
of a third or subsequent offense, the violator may be subject to a
term of imprisonment up to the maximum allowed by law for a summary
offense. Each day that a violation continues of each subsection of
this section that is found to be violated shall be considered a separate
violation.
(4)
All offenders convicted of violating this section shall also pay
the costs of prosecution and in default of said payment of fines and
costs.
(5)
Any person guilty of a violation of the within section may also be
subject to civil proceedings for damages and/or injunctive relief
by the property owner and any entity injured or damaged by such violation.
(6)
Both criminal and civil proceedings may be commended against a person
violating the within section and commencement of any such proceedings
shall not constitute an election of remedies preventing the commencement
of the other proceedings against such violator.
(7)
Seizure. In addition to issuance of a notice of violation, whenever
a police officer has probable cause to believe a vehicle has been
used or is being used in violation of this section, the officer may
seize the vehicle. The Police Department shall store the vehicle until
a final adjudication of the offense, at which time:
(a)
If forfeiture is not awarded, the Police Department shall return
the vehicle to the owner upon payment of all applicable fines, penalties
and fees and compliance with all applicable laws relating to the vehicle.
(b)
If forfeiture is awarded, the Police Department shall dispose
of the vehicle in an appropriate manner, which may include destruction
of the vehicle or such other manner of disposition that, in the judgment
of the Department, reduces, to the greatest extent practicable, the
opportunities for the vehicle to be used in any manner that violates
the provisions of this section or the Vehicle Code.[1]
