A.
The sale of farm produce, vegetables, fruit and other products and
sundries along and upon and next adjoining the highways of the State
of Michigan from cars, trucks and other vehicles is found to be hazardous
to traffic moving in and upon the said highways and has caused parking
on the said highways.
B.
It has also been found that such sale of farm produce, vegetables
and fruit has not been made in a sanitary manner in that the said
vendors lack the facilities to protect said produce from contamination,
and that the same jeopardizes the health of the inhabitants of the
Township.
It shall be unlawful to sell farm produce, vegetables and/or
fruit, or other products or sundries from cars, trucks or other vehicles
within a distance of 50 feet from the traveled portion of any highway
in the Charter Township of Blackman; providing, however, that this
article shall have no application to the selling of farm product,
vegetables or fruit sold in the Township from premises upon which
the same was raised or produced.
Any person who shall violate any of the provisions of this article
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof,
shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500 or up to 90 days
in jail, or both.
