Street

B. 
This section is focused on vehicles larger than a common passenger vehicle. The concern is for the Borough's Public Works vehicles when they are removing snow. Moving the plow or the truck is very problematic and can cause damage to property. If the plow driver cannot continue to plow due to the size of the vehicle parked there, a violation will be levied upon the vehicle.
[Added 7-6-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-3]

A. 
It shall be a violation for any person to stop, stand or park a vehicle on the roadway side of any vehicle stopped or parked at the edge or curb of any street, except that standing or parking for the purpose of loading and unloading persons or property shall be permitted. This section means that the vehicle that is stopping for delivery must be stopped no longer than necessary for the loading and unloading. Further, the driver of the delivery vehicle must ensure that the stopping will not block in any other vehicle and will be mindful of the traveling public.
B. 
The driver of the delivery vehicle must use good judgment when stopping the delivery vehicle. The stopping vehicle must not be stopped in a blind intersection or in such a way as to stop traffic or in any way cause a dangerous situation for the traveling public.
C. 
With the advent of home shopping, package vehicles are everywhere and traverse every street in the Borough. The rules remain the same no matter the location of the delivery.

Assumptions.
(1) 
The police use the following criteria when making determinations as to citing or towing vehicles.
(2) 
At any location, such as parks, playgrounds, roadways, etc., if vehicles are parked in such a way as to inhibit the even flow of traffic, fire vehicle, ambulance, or any emergency vehicle cannot easily pass, the police will take the following actions:
(a) 
The police will attempt to notify the violating vehicle owners.
(b) 
The police will wait a reasonable amount of time and, if there is no response, they will ticket the vehicles and notify our towing contractor to remove the vehicle(s).
(3) 
In any location in the Borough in which there is a cul-de-sac, the Public Works Department has nowhere to pile snow or remove it, so they will use the cul-de-sac for storing the snow. If this poses a hardship to any resident, they must contact the Public Works Supervisor.
(4) 
If you live in an area in which parking is prohibited on the street and you will be having a gathering that will require more parking than your driveway can accommodate, please contact the police and advise them that you will have overflow parking on the street. Please make this notification at least 24 hours prior to the event.
(5) 
Pertaining to handicapped parking, the Borough finds that handicapped parking spaces are temporary in nature. As such, may be established and rescinded by resolution designating spaces as reserved for handicapped parking. Any person violating this section is guilty of an offense within Title 75 of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code[1] and will be charged at District Court.
[1]
Editor's Note: See 75 Pa. C.S.A. § 101 et seq.
(6) 
For a thirty-day period, the police will issue warning notices instead of fine violations. At the conclusion of the thirty-day grace period, violations with fines will begin being issued.
[Amended 7-6-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-3]
A violation of any section of this chapter will result in a fine of $15. If the fine is paid within five days of the date of issue, it will be only the $15. After five days from the date of issue, the fine will increase to $25 and remain that for 60 days of the date of issue. After the sixty-day period the violation will be filed with the District Magistrate for court disposition. Note: Once violations are brought to the District Magistrate level, fees and costs will be added. The fine can be paid by using the envelope that was left on the vehicle and depositing it at the Borough Administrative offices at the Community Center (either by handing it to a staff member or putting it into the night deposit). Paying by check: Make check payable to the Borough of Oakdale. Mailing: 104 Seminary Ave., Oakdale, PA 15071. If you desire to appeal the violation, you can submit a letter of rebuttal with your fine, and the letter will be handled by the Chief of Police for investigation, disposition and notification.
