[HISTORY: Adopted by the governing body of the Township of Little
Falls 12-18-1995 by Ord. No. 753 as Sec. 3-12 of the 1995 Revised General
Ordinances. Amendments noted where applicable.]
It is hereby declared to be the public policy of the Township to secure
to its citizens the free use of the public highways, streets and roads by
adopting and enforcing proper regulations to prevent or remove all unnecessary
obstructions, and to restrict within practical limits such obstructions as
from time to time shall be necessary. The Township recognizes that both streets
and railroads are indispensable and serve a public purpose and the purpose
of this chapter is, therefore, to assure that neither should be required to
bear more than a just proportion of the inconvenience necessarily resulting
from their relation to each other.
A.
No railroad company or employee thereof shall operate
a locomotive or train so that it shall remain motionless preventing or interfering
with the passage of any street or highway in the Township for more than three
minutes.
B.
No railroad company or employees thereof shall, during
the assembling of a train, prevent or interfere with the passage of any street,
highway or road in the Township for more than three minutes. For every three
minutes during which such activity shall obstruct a road, street or highway,
there shall follow five minutes during which passage of traffic on such street
or highway shall be unobstructed.
C.
No moving train of cars shall be of such length or move
at such speed to block a street or highway in the Township for any longer
than three minutes at any one time.
Any person adjudged guilty of a violation of this chapter shall be liable
to the penalties provided by N.J.S.A. 39:4-203.
