Sec. 82-1Wrecked or inoperative vehicles
Needs a look
The basic rules of the road and the junk-car rule rest on 40-year-old text that may not track current state law. See the fix
Plain English: what this chapter covers
This chapter covers the everyday rules of the road in Ashburn. It adopts Georgia's Uniform Rules of the Road, sets speed zones, keeps big commercial trucks off residential streets except to make deliveries, and controls junk cars stored outside. It also lets residents drive golf carts ("motorized carts") on most city streets, and it sets up school-zone speed cameras along with how those tickets and appeals work.
It shall be unlawful for any person to store a wrecked or inoperative motor vehicle which is unlicensed for a period of 90 days or longer in any unenclosed place other than at locations of businesses engaged in the sale or repair of motor vehicles or motor vehicle parts. Violations of this section shall be punishable as provided in section 1-12.
