Because these are location-specific bans built around signed streets rather than a Township-wide overnight or general parking code, drivers need to check posted signage on the affected segments; the ordinance does not set a blanket township-wide restriction on parking on residential streets generally.
Violations & Fines
Chapter 15's general parking provisions are enforced as summary offenses before a Magisterial District Judge. Under the standard penalty carried through Part 4 for parking violations without a distinct fine specified, a violator is subject to the fine set elsewhere in the chapter for that nature of offense, or a $25 fine plus costs of prosecution where no other specific penalty applies, consistent with the flat fines set for other Chapter 15 parking and traffic sections.
