Sec. 247. 

The Board of Traffic Commissioners may by resolution, which shall become effective when published once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, adopt rules regulating the use of the public streets or other public ways for travel, including parking or other use of vehicles thereon, when determined by the board to be necessary to meet an emergency. The violation of any such rule, if so declared by the board in the resolution adopting it, shall be a misdemeanor and shall be punishable by fine not to exceed the maximum amount provided by the general laws of this state, or by imprisonment not exceeding six months, or by both such fine and imprisonment. No rule adopted under the authority of this section shall remain in force longer than thirty days unless incorporated into an ordinance.  (Amended, 1985)

The board is authorized to submit to the Council ordinances for adoption, relating to traffic, which must be adopted or rejected by the Council within ninety days from the receipt thereof.
