Part 4 REMOVAL AND IMPOUNDMENT OF ILLEGALLY PARKED VEHICLES
[Ord. 1-93, 1/6/1993]
This Part 4 is enacted under authority of Section 6109(a-22) of the Vehicle Code, and gives authority to the Township of Lower Oxford to remove and impound those vehicles which are parked in a tow away zone and in violation of parking regulations of this chapter. Vehicles which have been abandoned (as defined by the Vehicle Code) or which are parked in such a manner as to interfere with traffic or pose a hazard to others, may be towed under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Motor Vehicle Code.
The Township of Lower Oxford shall have authority to remove and impound, or to order the removal and impounding, of any vehicle parked overtime or otherwise illegally, provided that the circumstances of its parking were within the conditions stated in § 15-401 of this Part 4. Provided: no such vehicle shall be removed or impounded except in strict adherence to the provisions of this Part 4, or the provisions of the Pennsylvania Vehicle Code.
[Ord. 1-93, 1/6/1993; as amended by Ord. 1-2008, 3/12/2008, § 1]
The following designated streets and/or parking lots are hereby established as no-parking tow-away zones. Signs shall be posted to place the public on notice that their vehicles may be towed for violation of the Township parking regulations:
University Road (T-362)
Old Baltimore Pike and the Township line
Removal and impounding of vehicles under this chapter shall be done only by "approved storage garages" that shall be designated from time to time by Board of Supervisors. Every such garage shall submit evidence to Board of Supervisors that it is bonded or has acquired liability insurance in an amount satisfactory to Board of Supervisors as sufficient to indemnify owners of impounded vehicles against loss or damage to those vehicles while in the custody of the garage keeper for the purpose of towing or storage. The approved storage garage shall submit to Board of Supervisors its schedule of charges for towing and storage of vehicles under this chapter, and, when the schedule is approved by Board of Supervisors, those charges shall be adhered to by the approved storage garage; no different schedule of charges shall be demanded of or collected from any person whose vehicle is removed or impounded under this chapter by any approved storage garage. Board of Supervisors shall delete from its list of approved storage garages any garage that makes any unapproved charge in connection with any vehicle removed or impounded under this chapter.
The Township of Lower Oxford shall cause a record to be kept of all vehicles impounded under this Part 4 and shall be able at all reasonable times to furnish the owners or the agents of the owners of those vehicles with information as to the place of storage of the vehicle.
No vehicle shall be removed under the authority of this Part 4 or the Vehicle Code if, at the time of the intended removal, the owner or the person for the time being in charge of the vehicle is present and expresses a willingness and intention to remove the vehicle immediately.
[Ord. 1-93, 1/6/1993; as amended by Ord. 1-2008, 3/12/2008, § 4]
Any person or other entity who shall violate any provision of this Part shall be subject to having their vehicle towed at their expense. There will be no warning to violators. Any vehicle parked in the zone shall be immediately towed. Violators shall incur the cost of towing as well as the fine provided by this Part. A fine of $25 per day violation plus cost of enforcement shall be the additional penalty for violation.
