Emergency Snow Ordinance from http://raytownpolice.blogspot.com

Please be aware that both phases of the city’s emergency snow ordinance is now in effect:

1) Driving emergency. When snow, sleet or freezing rain is causing slippery or hazardous conditions which may lead to serious traffic congestion, the mayor may declare a traffic emergency, and until such emergency is terminated, no person shall operate a motor vehicle on any of the following streets in such a manner or in such condition as to allow or permit such vehicle to become stalled by reason of the fact that the driving wheels of such vehicle are not equipped with tire chains or snow tires.

(2) Parking emergency. Whenever snow has accumulated or there is a reasonable probability that snow will accumulate to such a depth that snow removal operations will be required, the mayor may declare a parking emergency, and until such an emergency is terminated, no vehicle shall be parked on any of the following streets which are hereby designated as snow routes by appropriate signs and enumerated below. All vehicles parked on such streets must be removed within two (2) hours after declaration of an emergency or be considered in violation of this section. Notice of the declared emergency shall be given in a manner calculated to apprise the residents of the city of such emergency prior to the provisions of this section becoming effective. Any stalled or parked vehicles which impede traffic or snow removal will constitute a violation of this chapter and subject the violator to a fine of not less than ten dollars ($10.00) nor more than five hundred dollars ($500.00) and such violator shall be subject to having his vehicle towed away as an abandoned vehicle as provided for in this chapter.
