[Adopted 6-10-1968]
Words and phrases, when used in this article,
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in The Vehicle Code of Pennsylvania,
as now in force, or as hereafter amended, enacted or reenacted, except
in those instances where the context clearly indicates a different
meaning. The singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall
include the feminine.
The use on Township roads, except in the construction

[Amended 3-10-1997; 8-20-2007]
Any person who violates or permits a violation
of this article shall, upon being found liable therefor in a civil
enforcement proceeding commenced by the Township before a District
Justice, pay a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $600, plus
all court costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred by
the Township in the enforcement of this article. No judgment shall
be imposed until the date of the determination of the violation by
the District Justice. If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals
the judgment, the Township may enforce the judgment pursuant to the
applicable Rules of Civil Procedure. Each day a violation exists shall
constitute a separate offense. Further, the appropriate officers or
agents of the Township are hereby authorized to seek equitable relief,
including injunction, to enforce compliance herewith.
