Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it
covers the streets and highways of the Township, no vehicle shall
be parked on any street or highway within the Township. The above
parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased
until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent
that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.
A.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon
streets or sections of streets where temporary emergency no-parking
signs are displayed. The Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking
police officer is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct
the posting of said emergency no-parking signs when weather conditions,
accidents, fires or public celebrations dictate or require the avoidance
of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the free flow
of traffic.
B.
Notification that the emergency no-parking signs are being or will
be posted shall be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle which
has been parked prior to the posting of the signs.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this
article shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper
regulation of traffic, and any peace officer may provide for the removal
of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal
and storage which may result from such removal, before regaining possession
of the vehicle.
The effectiveness of this article is contingent on signs being
erected as required by law.
