Any person violating any of the rules and regulations
applicable to state highways made by Massachusetts General Laws, under

[Town Manager, passed 5-7-1991]
These rules are adopted with the intent that each of them shall
have force and effect separately and independently of every other
except insofar as by express reference or necessary implication any
rule or any part of a rule is made dependent upon another rule or
part thereof.
All official signs, lights, markings, signal systems or devices
erected or installed under prior rules or regulations and necessary
to the enforcement of these regulations shall be deemed to have been
lawfully erected or installed hereunder, provided that the same were
erected or installed with the permission and approval of the Traffic
Commission and insofar as the same are necessary as aforesaid for
the enforcement of these regulations they shall be deemed continuing
hereunder but in all other respects, all prior rules, orders and regulations
made by the Selectmen of Watertown for the regulation of vehicles
are hereby expressly repealed. This repeal, however, shall not affect
any punishment or penalty imposed or any complaint or prosecution
pending at the time of the passage hereof for any offense committed
under said prior rules, orders or regulations hereby repealed, nor
shall said repeal be effective unless and until these rules and regulations
have been approved and published as required by law.
If any section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of these
rules and orders is for any reason unconstitutional, such decision
shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of these rules
and orders. The City Manager hereby declares that he would have passed
these regulations and each section, subsection, sentence, clause,
phrase thereof irrespective of the fact that any one of more sections,
subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared unconstitutional.
