It is hereby found and declared to be in the
best interest and welfare of the general public to expedite the removal
of snow, reduce driving hazards and to ensure open roads for the movement
of emergency vehicles during snowstorms, flood, serious fire or other
extreme public emergency.
The Board of Trustees may declare a state of
emergency in cases of flood, serious fire or other extreme public
emergency whenever conditions resulting therefrom create a dangerous
driving condition within the Village. During the existence of such
emergency, no vehicle shall be parked or abandoned upon that portion
of the public highway or highways affected by the conditions resulting
from flood, serious fire or other extreme public emergency.
Any vehicle parked or abandoned in violation of the provisions of this article shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic and may be removed and impounded as provided in Article VI of this chapter.
