Upon the basis of an engineering study of the weight and size
restrictions based on the conditions of highway or bridge pursuant
to Title 67, § 201.81, and 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 4902(a)
of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code, conducted by Michael J. Haberman
and prepared by The Gateway Engineers, Inc., 400 Holiday Drive, Suite
300, Pittsburgh PA 15220-2727, this being the applicable study information
undertaken by the Board of Supervisors of Brady Township, Butler County,
Pennsylvania, that the Township roads may be damaged or destroyed
unless the permissible weight of motor vehicles is restricted to a
maximum weight of 10 tons and/or 15 tons as set forth above on all
listed roads in the designated sections. The Township of Brady, Butler
County, Pennsylvania, therefore, authorizes the enforcement of the
maximum weight limits of 10 tons and/or 15 tons as set forth above
and the installation and placement of the applicable signage on the
Township roads as set forth in the engineering study.
Except when a special hazard exists that requires an emergency
vehicle or the proper permit is obtained as described below, noncompliance
with the maximum weight limit restrictions as set forth above will
be enforced as directed by the Motor Vehicle Code, all vehicles traveling
said Township roads as set forth above shall be required to limit
their weight to a maximum of 10 tons and/or 15 tons as set forth above,
and no person shall violate the provisions of the weight restriction
with the same enforced under the Motor Vehicle Code.
The said Township road weight restriction set forth above shall
be clearly posted in accordance with state law and the rules and regulations
of the Department of Transportation, which shall require the posting
of the required notice signs as applicable and in the time frames
and required distances for the same.
The Township of Brady, Butler County, Pennsylvania, pursuant
to Chapter 189 of Pennsylvania Code, will issue permits for the movement
of motor vehicles or combinations with weights in excess of the restrictions
imposed under this article conditioned upon the execution of an approved
form of security in favor of the said Township to cover the cost of
repairs and restoration necessitated by the movement. All vehicles
with weights in excess of the restrictions imposed under this article
must comply with the terms and conditions of Brady Township's Heavy
Hauling Permit. Further, vehicles with weights in excess of the restrictions
must execute an Excess Township Road Maintenance Agreement and Performance
Bond Agreement to be in compliance with said Township.
Any person in violation of this article is guilty of a summary
offense and shall upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of $75,
except that any person convicted of operating a vehicle with a gross
weight in excess of a posted weight restriction shall upon conviction,
be sentenced to pay a fine of $150 plus $150 for each additional 500
pounds, or part thereof in excess of 3,000 pounds over the maximum
allowable weight under this article. See 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 4902(g)(1).
The Board of Supervisors of Brady Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania,
does hereby revoke any inconsistent ordinances and declares that Ordinance
No. 2012-4 supersedes any and all ordinances on this matter.
