Subsection (a) hereof shall become effective in those areas that are, from time to time, specifically designated by resolution of the Board of Supervisors and upon the passage thereof. Official signs shall be erected by the Township to give notice of the prohibition.
[Ord. 104. Passed 3-16-1970; Ord. 311. Passed 11-14-1994]
Whenever snow falls to a depth of two inches or more or the Township declares a highway emergency, no owner or occupier of any premises or his or her guest or business invitees shall park any vehicle on any street or highway of the Township if the owner or occupier of the premises owns or has access to a garage, driveway or other location for parking motor vehicles off of the street or highway.
If the owner or occupier of a premises does not have or have access to such off-street parking location, then and only in such event shall parking be allowed upon a public street. However, such parking on the street shall be on one side thereof only; on the side of the street of odd-numbered residences; provided, however, that where parking restrictions are permanently in effect, such restrictions shall prevail, notwithstanding the provisions of this section.
Where off-street parking is available, automobiles must be parked well within the driveway so as not to protrude into the roadway and possibly interfere with snowplow equipment or passing vehicles.
