As used in this section, an audible status indicator is a component of a vehicle theft alarm system which emits a chirp, voice message or other sound audible outside the vehicle for a duration of more than one minute for the purpose of warning an approaching person that a vehicle theft alarm system is installed and armed or operational. The time period shall be calculated from the point in time of the emission of the first audible sound used in calculation and shall end one minute thereafter, not withstanding any variation or temporary stoppage in the emission of audible sound.

No. 134,523, Eff. 7/17/67.)

SEC. 80.75.4. EMERGENCY RULES AND SIGNS.

   (b)   Emergency Signs – Installation Authorized. The Commissioners are hereby authorized to install such signs as they may deem necessary to give notice of the effect of any such emergency rule at any particular occasion.
 
   (c)   Violation Prohibited. It shall be a misdemeanor, punishable as elsewhere provided in this chapter, for any person to operate, park, or otherwise use any vehicle in violation of any emergency rule adopted and published by the Commissioners pursuant to the authority granted by this section, or in violation of the instructions of any sign installed hereunder.
