[Added by Ord. No. 649]
[Amended 2-15-1994 by Ord. No. 1191]
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation
is such that it covers any street or highway in the Borough, no vehicle
shall be parked on any street or highway until after the snow has
ceased and the street or highway has been plowed sufficiently and
to the extent that parking will not interfere with the natural flow
of traffic.
A.
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.
B.
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 hazard or other conditions which interfere with the free flow of
traffic.
C.
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.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of §§ 21-18 and 21-19 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. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and storage which may result from such removal, before regaining possession of the vehicle.
