Although the streets and alleys in the Borough, except in Carver's Hill, run generally in a northeast-southwest and a northwest-southeast direction, for the purpose of this chapter:

These temporary and emergency regulations shall be enforced by the Mayor and the Police Department in the same manner as permanent regulations. Any person who drives or parks a vehicle in violation of any such regulation shall be guilty of a violation and, upon conviction, shall be liable to the penalty set out in the law or elsewhere in this chapter for a violation of that nature and, in case of a violation for which no specific penalty is set out in the law or elsewhere in this chapter, to a fine of $25 and costs.
Council may, from time to time, designate places upon and along the streets 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 those locations by proper signs and markings. Those regulations, prohibitions and restrictions shall be effective just as if they had been specified in this chapter. No person shall drive or park a vehicle 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 violates any provision of this section shall, upon conviction, be liable to the penalty set out in the law or elsewhere in this chapter for a violation of that nature and, in case of a violation for which no specific penalty is set out in the law or elsewhere in this chapter, to a fine of $25 and costs. 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.

It shall be unlawful for any person to drive a vehicle upon any such closed portion.
Council shall have authority to establish a restricted traffic area upon any street where construction or maintenance work is under way and to station flagmen at each end of the restricted portion.
