§ 425-4. Experimental regulations.  


Latest version.
  • A. 
    The Mayor may, from time to time, designate places upon and along the highways in the Borough where for a period of not more than 90 days, specific traffic and/or parking regulations, prohibitions and restrictions shall be in force and effect, and shall designate such locations by proper signs and markings. Such regulations, prohibitions and restrictions shall be effective just as they had been specified in this chapter.
    (1) 
    Notice to Council. During the first week of the temporary period, the Mayor or his designee shall send the Borough Council a written copy of the temporary traffic regulation and the reasons for establishing the regulation.
    (2) 
    Disapproval by Council.
    (a) 
    If any ordinance embodying any temporary regulation, or any part thereof, fails to be enacted and approved by the Council, such regulation, or any part thereof, shall, at the end of the temporary period of 90 days, cease to be in effect.
    (b) 
    If the Council directs that any temporary traffic regulation shall be discontinued immediately, the posted signs, or traffic notices, or traffic control devices affecting such temporary regulation shall be removed at once and the regulation shall be void.
    B. 
    No person shall operate or park a vehicle or tractor in violation of any such regulation, prohibition or restriction, and no person shall move, remove, destroy or deface any sign or marking erected, posted or made by authority of this section. Any person who shall violate any provision of this section shall, upon conviction thereof, be liable to the penalty set forth in the law or elsewhere in this chapter for a violation of such nature, and in case of a violation for which no specific penalty is set forth in the law or elsewhere in this chapter, to a fine of not more than $25 and costs of prosecution. Provided: the purpose of this section is to allow for the test and experimental determination of the feasibility and desirability of permanent changes in the ordinances of the Borough relative to traffic and parking.
