§ 70.62  PARKING PROHIBITION; DECLARATION; TERMINATION.
   (A)   (1)   Whenever the Traffic Engineer of the town finds, on the basis of falling snow, sleet or freezing rain, or on the basis of a forecast by the U.S. Weather Bureau or other weather service of snow, sleet or freezing rain, that weather conditions will make it necessary that motor vehicle traffic be expedited and that parking on town streets be prohibited or restricted for snow plowing and other purposes, the Town Superintendent shall put into effect a parking prohibition on parts of, or all, snow emergency routes as necessary by declaring it in a manner prescribed by this subchapter.
      (2)   Once in effect, a prohibition under this section shall remain in effect until terminated by announcement of the Traffic Engineer in accordance with the provisions of this subchapter; however, any street area which has become substantially clear of snow and ice from curb to curb for the length of the entire block shall be automatically excluded therefrom. Six hours after announcement of a snow emergency and while the prohibition is in effect, no person shall park or allow to remain parked any vehicle on any portion of a snow emergency route to which it applies. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to permit parking at any time or place where it is forbidden by any other provision of law.
      (3)   Any provision of this subchapter, which becomes effective by declaration of the Traffic Engineer or upon occurrence of certain weather conditions shall, while temporarily in effect, take precedence over other conflicting provisions of law normally in effect. However, it shall not take precedence over provisions of law relating to traffic accidents, emergency travel, authorized emergency vehicles or emergency traffic directions by a police officer.
(Prior Code, Title VII, Ch. I, Art. XV, § 15.3)
   (B)   The Traffic Engineer shall cause each declaration of snow emergency made by him or her pursuant to this subchapter to be publicly announced by means of available media broadcasts with a normal operating range covering the town, and he or she may cause the declaration to be further announced through print media circulated in the town. Each announcement shall describe the action taken, the time it will be in effect and shall specify the streets or areas affected; provided, however, the declaration of emergency will take effect when it is declared.
(Prior Code, Title VII, Ch. I, Art. XV, § 15.4)
   (C)   Whenever the Traffic Engineer finds that some or all of the conditions which give rise to a parking prohibition in effect pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter no longer exist, he or she may declare the prohibition terminated, in whole or in part, in a manner prescribed by this subchapter, effective immediately upon announcement.
