The person, contractor or utility shall provide
the Police Department with at least two emergency twenty-four-hour-contact
phone numbers to be called in the event of what the police perceives
as an emergency problem at the construction or maintenance site. Such
shall be provided prior to the start of any work. If for any reason
the emergency contact person cannot be reached or does not respond
to the call from the Police Department to correct a hazardous condition,
the Township may then respond to the existing condition in an effort
to correct the same. The reasonable cost incurred by the Township
to provide the emergency service shall be charged to and borne by
the person, contractor or utility responsible for such a condition.
There shall be no construction, maintenance
operations or utility work on any roadway in the Township before the
hours of 7:00 a.m. or after 4:30 p.m. This time limit may be reasonably
adjusted to permit work prior to 7:00 a.m. or after 4:30 p.m. by the
officer in charge and upon the Police Chief's approval. If the officer
in charge (of the traffic bureau) determines that the construction
or remediation or maintenance prior to or after the designated times
herein would substantially delay traffic or cause a safety or health
hazard, the work shall only be permitted pursuant to the designated
hours.
Road closings and/or traffic detours for whatever
reasons shall not be permitted unless approved by the Hillside Police
Department (traffic bureau).
The Police Department (traffic bureau) shall
have the authority to require the person, contractor or utility performing
work under this article to post certain specific signs or markers
as so designated necessary by the Department.
[Amended 10-21-2003]

any of the provisions of this article shall, upon conviction, be punishable
by a fine not exceeding $1,000; imprisonment for a term not exceeding
90 days; and/or a period of community service not exceeding 90 days.
