(a) The city adopts all vehicle and traffic statutes and regulations of the State of Alaska, as they presently exist and as they may be revised in the future, including those which apply to motorcycles and all-terrain and off-highway vehicles as such vehicles are defined in § 12.30.010 unless such statute or regulations directly conflicts with any provision of this chapter. In the event of such a conflict, the city ordinance shall control to the extent it is not preempted by state law.
(b) Notwithstanding division (a) above, the city does not adopt those state traffic laws that establish misdemeanor and felony offenses which are not listed on Alaska Supreme Court bail forfeiture schedules, including A.S. 28.35.030.
(c) All citations issued under this chapter shall use the appropriate "AS" or "AAC" or CFR statute or regulation numbers, include a description of the offense, indicate that the offense was adopted by reference as a city ordinance, and the charging entity or plaintiff is the City of Sand Point.
(d) Additional traffic ordinances of the city that are necessary to meet specific local requirements shall be incorporated in other chapters of this title.
(e) When the context requires, the term "Alaska State trooper" or "peace officer" when used in a provision incorporated by reference under division (A) above shall be deemed to mean and construed as identical with chief of police, police officer, or such other local police officer sworn to enforce the laws of the city. When the context requires, the term "department" appearing in the Alaska Statutes and Alaska Administrative Code provisions adopted by reference shall be construed to mean the Sand Point Police Department.
