or highways shall be plowed and a snow emergency is declared by the
Office of Emergency Management or the Township Administrator, no vehicle
shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions thereof indicated.

the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of
traffic.

declare and rescind an emergency and to direct the posting of said
emergency no-parking signs when weather conditions, accidents, fires
