The purpose of this chapter, enacted pursuant to Municipal Home
Rule Law § 20, Vehicle and Traffic Law § 1640(a)(6),
and Village Law § 20-2002, is to simplify the procedure
by which vehicle and traffic controls can be established without the
necessity in every case of enacting a local law. This section enables
the Board of Trustees to act by resolution while, at the same time,
providing a mechanism by which the public will be adequately apprised
of traffic regulations affecting Village streets. The Board of Trustees
continues to rely upon the New York State Manual of Uniform Traffic
Control Devices as a basis for the installation of stop signs. This
chapter also gives to the Clerk of the Village a mandate with respect
to maintaining records concerning requirements established by the
Board of Trustees. In the consideration of this chapter, the Board
of Trustees has determined that:
A. The warrants outlined for stop signs are adequate for the
guidance of the Board and should be applied in all present and new
situations in considering traffic control signs and, in addition to
the warrants established by New York State, the Board shall take into
consideration:
(1) The topography of the road.
(3) Incidents of reported accidents and their nature and cause.
(4) Requests of residents expressing their view with respect to traffic
control regulation.
(5) Recommendations of the Nassau County Traffic Department.
For the purpose of maintaining an accurate record of all regulations
adopted pursuant to resolutions under the provisions of this chapter,
the Clerk of the Village is directed to establish a system of schedules,
maintaining the same in a separate file, in which shall be entered
all regulations after adoption or promulgation of such resolution.
The schedule shall include but not be limited to the following categories:
C. Prohibited turns at intersections.
D. Prohibited turns on red signals.
Q. No parking during certain hours.
