A.
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any motorized vehicle or bicycle in the Borough on any Borough levee in disregard of any official sign, gates, or notice that the same is closed to vehicular and bicycle traffic except for authorized levee repair and maintenance or for emergency purposes.
