It is unlawful for any person to use, ride, propel, or otherwise

[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Any person or persons convicted of violating any of the provisions
of this article shall be subject to a fine not to exceed $1,000 per
violation, plus costs of prosecution. In default of payment thereof,
the defendant may be sentenced to imprisonment in the Berks County
Prison to the extent allowed by law for the punishment of summary
offenses. Enforcement of any such violations shall be by action brought
before a Magisterial District Judge in the same manner provided for
the enforcement of summary offenses under the Pennsylvania Rules of

in summary cases. Each day or portion thereof that a violation continues
or is permitted to continue shall also constitute a separate offense.
Should any article, section, subsection, paragraph, phrase,
term or word contained herein be declared by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such determination shall
not be deemed to affect the validity of the remaining portions of
this article, in whole or in part.
Except as specifically provided in this article, all other traffic
and vehicular regulations which pertain to streets, alleys and sidewalks
within the Borough of Strausstown are generally ratified and reaffirmed
by Borough Council as fully as though set forth at length.
