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.

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.

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.
C. 
Penalties. Any person or persons violating any of the provisions of § 375-43 shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine of $54.
[Added  7-28-2008 by Ord. No. 2057]
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.

[Amended 7-23-2001 by Ord. No. 1754]
The Borough shall post and erect signs with appropriate language announcing the restrictions set forth in this article. It shall be a defense to a prosecution for a violation of this article that a proper sign was not erected pursuant to the provisions of this article.
