The provisions of this chapter relating to the
driving, parking, movement and restrictions of vehicles, pedalcycles
and pedestrians apply to the highways and streets, and to other locations
specified herein, within the boundaries of the Township of Dallas.
The police officers of the Township of Dallas
and the police officers of other jurisdictions under the authority
of the Act of June 15, 1982 (Act No. 141 of 1982), shall have authority to direct traffic on the streets
in Dallas Township, at intersections, in public and in other places
where the Vehicle Code (the Act of June 17, 1976, P.L. 162 No. 81,
as amended) or this chapter applies.
In accordance with § 6301 of the Vehicle
Code (the Act of June 17, 1976, P.L. 162 No. 81, as amended)
except for parking violations, when the same conduct is proscribed
under the Vehicle Code of Pennsylvania and this chapter, the charge
shall be brought under the Vehicle Code (the Act of June 17, 1976,
P.L. 162 No. 81, as amended) and not this chapter.
All traffic and parking regulations of a permanent
nature shall be enacted as ordinances or parts of ordinances or as
amendments to ordinances of the Township of Dallas, except where the
laws of the commonwealth specifically authorize less formal action.
The Dallas Township Board of Supervisors may,
from time to time, designate places upon and along the streets and
highways in the Township of Dallas where, for a period of not more
than 90 days, specific traffic and/or parking regulations, prohibitions
and restrictions shall be in force and effect, and shall designate
those locations by proper signs and markings. Those regulations, prohibitions
and restrictions shall be effective just as if they had been specified
in this chapter. No person shall drive, operate or park a vehicle
in violation of any such regulation, prohibition or restriction, and
no person shall move, remove, destroy or deface any sign or marking
erected, posted or made by authority of this section. Any person who
violates any provision of this section shall, upon conviction, be
guilty of a summary offense and be liable to the penalty set out in
the law or elsewhere in this chapter for a violation of that nature,
and, in case of a violation for which no specific penalty is set out
in the law or elsewhere in this chapter, to a fine of $25 and costs;
provided that the purpose of this section is to allow for test and
experimental determination of the feasibility and desirability of
permanent changes in the ordinances of the Township of Dallas relative
to traffic and parking.
