The Public Works Department is hereby authorized to place restrictive signs designating the areas described above in accordance with the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
A. 
Any person who owns, operates, or parks a vehicle that interferes with the normal movement of traffic or creates a safety hazard shall promptly cause the vehicle to be moved so as to eliminate the interference or hazard. In the event the owner is unable, unwilling or otherwise fails to promptly remove the vehicle, the person shall be deemed to have authorized Dickinson Township or its contractor to act as the person's agent to promptly remove the vehicle on the person's behalf to a place of storage, and such person shall be liable to the person providing the removal and storage services for the cost thereof.
B. 
The Township shall promptly send notice by certified mail to the last registered owner of the vehicle advising where the vehicle is located and that it may be reclaimed upon payment of costs. If the abandoned motor vehicle does not bear an identifiable registration plate, current certificate of inspection or vehicle identification number plate, the notice may be secured to the vehicle.
C. 
The owner of the vehicle shall have the right to a hearing before the Board of Supervisors if the owner claims that the vehicle was parked legally.
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 § 190-32 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 § 190-32 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 the 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.
Penalty for violation. Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this section shall, upon conviction thereof before a District Justice, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $75 and costs of prosecution, and, in default of payment of such fine and costs, to imprisonment in the Cumberland County Prison for not more than five days.
The provisions of this article, so far as they are the same as those of ordinances and regulations in force immediately prior to the enactment of this article, are intended as a continuation of such ordinances and not as new enactments. The provisions of this article shall not affect any act done or liability incurred, nor shall they affect any suit or prosecution pending or to be instituted to enforce any of those repealed ordinances or regulations.
