Code.
B.
In this article, the singular shall include the plural, the plural

and neuter genders.
All traffic regulations of a permanent nature shall be enacted
as ordinances, as parts of ordinances, as amendments to ordinances
or as amendments to this article.
The provisions of this article, so far as they are the same
as those of ordinances in force immediately prior to the enactment
of this article, are intended as a continuation of such ordinances
and regulations and not as new enactments. The provisions of this
article 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 aforesaid.
A.
The Police Chief shall have the following powers to regulate traffic
temporarily and in time of emergency:
(1)
In the case of fire, flood, storm or other emergency, to establish
temporary traffic regulations;
(2)
In the case of emergency or to facilitate public works, or in the
conduct of parades, processions or public events, to restrict or prohibit
traffic in limited areas for periods of not more than 72 hours.
B.
Such temporary and emergency regulations shall be enforced by the
Police Department in the same manner as permanent regulations. Any
person who shall operate a vehicle or tractor in violation of any
such regulations, or who shall move, remove, destroy, injure or deface
any sign or marking erected, posted or made to give notice of the
regulation, shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to the penalty
set forth in the Vehicle Code or elsewhere in this article for a violation
of such nature, and, in case of a violation for which no specific
penalty is set forth in the Vehicle Code or elsewhere in this article,
to a fine of not more than $25, together with costs of prosecution.
Borough Council may, from time to time by resolution, designate
places upon and along the highways in the Borough where for a period
of not more than 90 days, specific traffic 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 article. No person shall operate 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 Vehicle Code or elsewhere
in this article for violation of such nature, and in case of a violation
for which no specific penalty is set forth in the Vehicle Code or
elsewhere in this article, to a fine of not more than $25, together
with costs of prosecution; provided, the purpose of this section is
to allow for the testing and experimental determination of the feasibility
and desirability of permanent changes in the ordinances of the Borough
relative to traffic.
Police officers are hereby given authority to direct traffic
on the highways of the Borough and at intersections thereof and to
enforce the provisions of this article.
No person shall drive a vehicle, other than a human-powered
vehicle, upon a sidewalk or sidewalk area except upon a permanent
or duly authorized temporary driveway. Any person who shall violate
any provision of this section shall, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced
to pay a fine of $25 together with costs of prosecution.
