Parking shall be prohibited on any Township streets whenever
snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, or a combination thereof accumulates
on said streets sufficiently to constitute a complete covering of
said streets or whenever the Township, at its sole discretion, declares
a snow or ice emergency. Information on the existence of a snow or
ice emergency shall be given by the Township through radio, newspaper
or other available media, and information of the termination of the
emergency may be given by use of the same media.
In the event a motor vehicle is parked on a highway right-of-way in violation of this article, the Township Board of Supervisors or its designee, including the Roadmaster, or any Police Department with jurisdiction within the Township shall remove or cause the removal of such motor vehicle to a place designated by the Township. Prior to the owner of such motor vehicle regaining possession of said vehicle, or upon assessment of a penalty pursuant to § 231-46 of this article, the owner shall pay to the Township the costs incurred by the Township in causing such removal and storage, and in addition thereto, pay to the Township the penalty prescribed by § 231-46 of this article.
The Township, its employees, representatives and contractors
shall have no liability for any damage to any motor vehicle parked
in violation of this article, occurring to such motor vehicle by reason
of Township's removal of such vehicle from its parking location, and/or
by reason of the Township's road maintenance and/or snow removal activities
or operations.
If, at any time during a period of snow or ice emergency declared under § 231-43 of this article or whenever snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, or a combination thereof accumulates on said streets sufficiently to constitute a complete covering of said street, a person shall park a motor vehicle or allow a motor vehicle to remain parked anywhere upon a snow emergency route, that person shall be guilty of a violation of this article and, upon conviction, shall be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $50 and costs, together with any other penalty provided for under the Vehicle Code.
