[Ord. 1726, 10/14/1991]
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.
[Ord. 1726, 10/14/1991]
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repealed or superseded ordinances or regulations.
[Ord. 1726, 10/14/1991]
The Board of Commissioners may, from time to time by resolution,
designate places upon and along the highways in the Township of Ross
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 if 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 Township of Ross relative to traffic and
parking.
