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.
The provisions of this chapter, so far as they are the same
as those of ordinances in force immediately prior to the adoption
of this chapter, are intended as a continuation of such ordinances
and regulations and not as new enactments. The provisions of this
chapter shall not affect any act done or liability incurred, nor shall
they affect any suit or prosecution pending or to be instituted to
enforce any right or penalty or to punish any offense under any such
ordinances or regulations as aforesaid.
The Borough Council may, from time to time, designate places
upon and along the highways in the Borough 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 just as 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 liable 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 Catawissa are hereby given
authority to direct traffic on the highways of the Borough and at
intersections thereof.
