Reasonable exercise of police powers requires implementation
and enforcement of temporary or experimental traffic regulations as
to any road, street or highway situated within the physical boundaries
of Millcreek Township as may be necessary from time to time in response
to emergencies or special conditions existing or occurring within
the Township.
Designation of an area or location requiring implementation
of temporary or experimental regulations as may be deemed necessary
in response to emergency or special conditions provided for under
this article shall be implemented only after an appropriate engineering
and traffic investigation and recommendation by the Chief of Police
or his designee, who shall be responsible for determining the reasonable
need for such temporary or experimental regulations and implementation
of same. In emergency situations, an engineering and traffic investigation
shall not be required if the Chief of Police or his designee should
believe implementation of such regulations necessary in the circumstances.
In those areas where a specific traffic or parking control is
implemented, such regulation shall be effective only upon erection
of official traffic or parking control devices or signs giving notice
of this regulation in a manner consistent with the signage recommended
by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation regarding "special
police regulation," and shall be erected upon or at the entrances
to the roadway or highway or affected part thereof as may be most
appropriate.
In the event temporary regulations have been imposed in emergency
circumstances, the Chief of Police shall promptly report the same
to the Board of Supervisors.
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this article
shall, upon summary conviction before a Magisterial District Judge,
be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $25 and costs of prosecution.
