After the effective date of this section (Ordinance No. 959, adopted July 7, 1986), no person shall operate any vehicle having a gross weight in excess of the posted weight limit upon any bridge located in the Borough or upon any bridge belonging to the Borough. If any bridge belonging to the Borough or located within the Borough is unposted, then weight limits thereon shall be in accordance with the rules and regulations of the State Department of Transportation.

If the scales used by the police are within 10% of the actual weight of the motor vehicle, load and driver, as provided in this section, then all expenses of such weighing shall be borne by the operator and/or owner of the motor vehicle allegedly in violation of this section. If such scales are more than 10% in error, then all expenses for the weighing of the subject motor vehicle shall be at the cost of the Borough. In no event shall the inaccuracy of any scales used by the police department be grounds for the dismissal of any action brought as a result of the violation of this section, nor shall such inaccuracy be competent evidence of the innocence of any owner or operator of any motor vehicle judged to be in violation of this section. For the purposes of any citation, complaint or other criminal prosecution brought under this section, the weight as established by the certified scales shall be the weight upon which such citation, complaint or other criminal process is founded. Such weight shall also be determinative of any fine which may be imposed as a result of the violation of this section.
