In order to facilitate the movement of traffic and to combat the hazards of snow and ice on the snow emergency routes named pursuant to this article, the Penn Township Police Department, in its discretion, may declare a snow and ice emergency (designated in this article as a "snow emergency"). Information on the existence of a snow emergency may be given by the Township through radio, newspaper or other available media, and information on the termination of the emergency may be given by use of the same media.
After any snow emergency is declared, it shall be unlawful, at any time during the continuance of the emergency, for any person:
A. 
To park a motor vehicle or to allow that vehicle to remain parked anywhere on any snow emergency route designated pursuant to this article; or
B. 
To drive any motor vehicle on any such snow emergency route unless that vehicle is equipped with snow tires or chains.
The streets or parts of streets described in Schedule XIX (§ 180-61), attached to and made a part of this chapter, are hereby designated as snow emergency routes.
It shall be unlawful for any person to maintain, either directly or indirectly, a nuisance with the Township of Penn. Nuisances shall include but not be limited to the following:
A. 
Pushing, shoveling or otherwise depositing snow, ice, mud, rocks, earth, manure, animal waste, cut vegetation, or any combination thereof, upon the cartway or traveled portion of any highway, road, street or alley maintained by the Township, county or commonwealth.
