The Commissioner of the Department of Public Works shall prepare and may, from time to time, amend a list of Town roads or portions thereof which he designates as snow routes, indicating the name of each road. Such list and any amendments thereto shall be filed with the Town Clerk, who shall cause such list or amendments thereto to be published once in the official newspapers of the Town. Such snow routes shall take effect upon such publication and shall continue until modified.
(b)
The Town Supervisor may declare a state of snow emergency whenever, in his judgment, snow has created dangerous driving conditions within the Town. During the existence of a snow emergency, or when the National Weather Service has predicted a snowfall of three inches or more, motor vehicles shall not be parked or abandoned upon the snow routes.
(c)
The Department of Public Works shall erect and maintain appropriate signs at reasonable intervals along designated snow routes to provide notice that it is unlawful to park or abandon any vehicles along a snow route during a snow emergency.
(d)
Any vehicle parked or abandoned in violation of the provisions of this section shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulations of traffic. Employees of the Department of Public Works or any peace officer may remove, or cause to be removed, any such vehicle to any other location within the Town, without incurring any liability for damages to the vehicle.
