Unless another penalty is expressly provided
by law, every person convicted of a violation of any provision of
this chapter shall be punished by a fine of not more than $100 or
by imprisonment for not more than 10 days or by both such fine and
imprisonment.
Whenever any motor vehicle without a driver
is found parked, standing or stopped in violation of any of the restrictions
imposed by ordinance of this Town or by state law, the officer finding
such vehicle shall take its registration number and may take any other
information displayed on the vehicle which may identify its user,
and shall conspicuously affix to such vehicle a traffic citation,
on a form prescribed by the Chief of Police and the Traffic Commission
for the driver to answer to the charge against him within seven days
during the hours and at a place specified in the citation.
If a violator of the restriction on stopping,
standing or parking under the traffic laws or ordinances does not
respond to a traffic citation affixed to such motor vehicle within
a period of seven days, the Johnston Municipal Court shall send to
the owner of the motor vehicle to which the traffic citation was affixed
a letter informing him of the violation and warning him that in the
event such letter is disregarded for a period of five days a warrant
of arrest will be issued.
In the event any person fails to comply with
a traffic citation given to such person or attached to a vehicle within
the required time, a warrant may be issued for his arrest by the Judge
of the Johnston Municipal Court.
All fines or forfeitures collected upon conviction
or upon the forfeiture of bail of any person charged with a violation
of any of the provisions of this chapter shall be paid into the Town
treasury and deposited in a special fund.
