All traffic and parking regulations of a permanent nature shall
be enacted as ordinances, as parts of ordinances, as amendments to
ordinances, or as amendments to this chapter, except where the law
specifically authorizes less formal action.
The provisions of this chapter, so far as they are the same
as those of ordinances and regulations in force immediately before
the enactment of this chapter, are intended as a continuation of those
earlier ordinances and regulations, and not as new enactments. Nothing
in this chapter shall affect any act done or liability incurred, or
any suit or prosecution pending or to be instituted under any of those
repealed or superseded ordinances or regulations.
The Borough Council may, from time to time by resolution, designate
places upon and along the highways in the Borough of Port Vue 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 such locations by proper signs and markings. Such
regulations, prohibitions and restrictions shall be effective as is
they had been specified in this chapter. No person shall operate or
park a vehicle or tractor 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 shall violate any provision of this section shall,
upon conviction thereof, be subject to the penalty set forth in the
law or elsewhere in this chapter for a violation of such nature, and
in case of a violation for which no specific penalty is set forth
in the law or elsewhere in this chapter, to a fine of not more than
$25 together with costs of prosecution; provided, 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 of Port Vue are hereby given
authority to direct traffic on the highways of the Borough and at
intersections thereof.
