The following parking rules and regulations
shall apply to the streets and roads within the jurisdiction of the
Town of Simsbury.
Whenever any vehicle is found parked in violation
of this article or any ordinance or rule or regulation of the traffic
authority which relates to parking, a police officer or such other
person as may be authorized by the Chief of Police to give such notice
shall attach to such vehicle a notice to the owner or operator thereof
stating that such vehicle has been parked unlawfully.
[Amended 12-9-1996]
The penalty for any violation of this Article
shall be in accordance with the fee schedule set by the Board of Selectmen,
provided that the owner or operator of the vehicle in question pays
this amount in person or remits this amount by mail to the Simsbury

of the vehicle by a police officer or other authorized person. If
such payment is not made within seven days of the attachment or delivery
