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repealed or superseded ordinances or regulations.
For the purpose of allowing for the test and experimental determination
of the feasibility and desirability of permanent changes in the ordinances
of the Borough of Lewistown relative to traffic and parking, the Borough
Council may, from time to time by resolution, designate places upon
and along the highways in the Borough of Lewistown 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 as effective as if they had
been specified in this chapter. Any person who shall operate or park
a vehicle in violation of any such regulation, prohibition or restriction
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 and the costs of prosecution.
The police officers of the Borough of Lewistown are hereby given
authority to direct traffic on the highways of the Borough and at
intersections thereof.
