A civil defense emergency is hereby declared to exist, requiring
special regulation of vehicular traffic and parking, whenever there
shall be declared by the authorities responsible for so doing, either
a civil defense alert, whether strategic or tactical, or a civil defense
test exercise, necessitating the evacuation of persons from the City
of Milwaukee and its suburbs in order to properly provide for the
public safety under such conditions. Such emergency is declared to
continue for 24 hours after the announcement of any strategic alert,
or an indefinite period until revoked by the civil defense authorities
calling said alert or by proclamation of the Village President after
any tactical alerts, and for a period commencing two hours before
and extending until four hours after the conclusion of any announced
test exercise.
The civil defense escape routes to which the provisions of this
section shall apply are those which are designated on such "Civil
Defense Escape Route Plan of the Village of Whitefish Bay," as may
from time to time be adopted by the Village Board.
Not withstanding any other provisions of this Chapter
6 of the Code of the Village of Whitefish Bay, whenever a civil defense emergency shall exist, the following traffic regulations shall apply:
A. All lanes of each street or highway designated as a civil defense
escape route, including those divided by a center strip, shall be
restricted to one-way traffic moving in direction from the center
of the metropolitan area toward its outer limits. It shall be unlawful
for any person to operate any vehicle thereon in the opposite direction.
B. It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to cross any
civil defense escape route.
C. It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to enter any
civil defense escape route at any point except one where entry is
authorized on the escape route plan.
D. It shall be unlawful for any person to park any vehicle or permit
any vehicle to remain standing on any civil defense escape route.
E. Because of the necessity for keeping all lanes of traffic open for
the movement of vehicles under a civil defense emergency, whenever
any traffic officer shall find a vehicle parked or in anyway blocking
the free movement of traffic over any civil defense escape route,
he is authorized to move or direct the removal of such vehicle to
a position off the escape route.
F. The Chief of Police may promulgate appropriate detailed orders relative
to control or immobilization of traffic during a civil defense emergency
and upon the filing thereof with the Clerk-Treasurer, such requirements
shall be a part of this section, of the same force and effect, and
the penalties hereinafter prescribed shall apply to any violation
of such orders.
