[Ord. 1028-85, 8/12/1985]
The boundary limits of the Borough are hereby established as
a zone in which motor vehicles may remain standing without lights,
and all highways within such boundary limits are hereby designated
as highways where motor vehicles may remain standing without lights.
[Ord. 1028-85, 8/12/1985; as amended by Ord. 1376-10, 5/10/2010,
§ 1]
1.
Generally. The loading and unloading of goods, wares and merchandise
from any motor vehicle is hereby restricted to such length of time
as is reasonably necessary for the purpose of loading and unloading
of such goods, wares and merchandise. For the purpose of enforcement
of this section, such loading or unloading of any motor vehicle shall
not be considered as parking; however, except as specifically provided
in this section relative to the loading and unloading of motor vehicles,
no person shall load or unload a motor vehicle from any place upon
any street or alley in the Borough where parking is prohibited or
shall allow a motor vehicle to remain for loading or unloading in
any place upon any street or alley where parking is limited as to
time for longer than the time for which parking is permitted, or shall
load or unload upon any street or alley in such a way that one lane
for vehicular traffic shall not be kept open at all times.
2.
Loading and Unloading of Motor Vehicles. Stopping, standing and/or
parking of motor vehicles for the purpose of loading or unloading
of goods, wares and merchandise at commercial, business, office or
dining establishments shall be permitted upon the streets or alleys
of the Borough of Gettysburg where such loading or unloading of goods,
wares and merchandise will serve to minimize congestion in busy areas
of the Borough by leaving open the primary public streets of the Borough
for use by the traveling public. This exception for loading and unloading
of motor vehicles is only where such street or alley provides ample
space for the loading and unloading of goods, wares and merchandise.
Where the primary public street servicing a commercial, business,
office or dining establishment contains adequate available parking
spaces and minimal traffic congestion, the loading or unloading of
goods, wares and merchandise shall be completed from the available
parking spaces on said primary public street. However, it is generally
the policy of the Borough of Gettysburg that the loading and unloading
of goods, wares and merchandise by motor vehicles occur where reasonably
safe and practical in the public alleys to the rear of properties
being serviced by such motor vehicles.
A.
Through Traffic. In the event that a motor vehicle utilizes a public
alley of the Borough for the purpose of loading or unloading of goods,
wares and merchandise as an alternative to blocking parking spaces
and traffic flow on the public streets of the Borough, such motor
vehicle shall be permitted to load or unload in a manner that will
block through traffic on narrow alleys of the Borough for loading
and unloading only and only for the amount of time which is reasonably
necessary for loading and/or unloading of the motor vehicle.
B.
State Roads. Loading and unloading of motor vehicles as provided
for in this section is limited to the public streets and alleys of
the Borough of Gettysburg. No stopping, standing and/or parking of
motor vehicles for the purpose of loading or unloading shall be authorized
on state roads or highways except as allowed pursuant to the laws
and regulations of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
C.
Enforcement. The use of the public streets and alleys of the Borough
for the purpose of loading and/or unloading of motor vehicles shall
be enforced by the Gettysburg Borough Police Department. As the purpose
of this provision is to facilitate the flow of traffic through the
Borough in order to lessen congestion and to ensure the safety of
the traveling public, the Police Department shall have discretion
to balance the needs of a commercial, business, office or dining establishment
in the loading and unloading of goods, wares and merchandise and the
convenience and safety of the traveling public on the public streets
and alleys of the Borough.
[Ord. 1028-85, 8/12/1985]

On all streets or portions thereof where angle parking is now or
shall hereafter be authorized, all vehicles parked thereon shall be
parked with the front thereof nearest the curb.
[Ord. 1028-85, 8/12/1985]
1.
Wherever a particular parking space shall be lined or marked off
on any street or alley or upon the adjacent curb, every vehicle parked
shall be parked within the lines marking such parking space. All vehicles
parked on streets or alleys, whether parking spaces are marked or
not, shall be parked only in the direction of the permitted traffic
flow.
2.
Parking shall be prohibited at all times by any vehicle which in
any way will block the intersection of any street or alley or the
entrance or exit of any street or alley. Parking shall at all times
be prohibited within 15 feet of any fire hydrant, 20 feet from any
intersection, and 30 feet from any stop sign, or in any area where
erected signs or painted lines indicate a "No Parking" area; and in
any manner so as to block any private or public driveway or accessway
to a parking lot or parking facility or other facility of the Borough.
