In order to facilitate the movement of traffic and to combat the hazards of excessive snow and ice on the highways or portions of highways designated by the Board of Supervisors of Skippack Township as provided in §
187-38 of this article, a snow emergency is hereby declared to exist whenever the depth of snow on streets in §
187-38 shall reach an accumulation of two inches or more.
After such snow emergency shall have gone into
effect, it shall be unlawful during the period of such emergency for
any person to park a motor vehicle or tractor or to allow the same
to remain parked on any highway or portion thereof unless such vehicle
or tractor shall be equipped with adequate equipment to provide sufficient
traction to keep such vehicle or tractor in motion so that other traffic
on such highways will not be blocked or seriously impeded.
The highways or portions thereof to which the provisions of this article shall be applicable during all periods of snow emergency declared as provided in §
187-35 shall be as designated in Schedule XVIII (§
187-58), attached hereto and made a part of this chapter. In all other streets throughout Skippack Township not specifically designated by the Board of Supervisors as snow emergency routes, the snow emergency status shall arise whenever the depth of snow on each individual street shall reach an accumulation of four inches or more on the streets as set forth in Schedule XVIII attached hereto.
