  fields  accessory  to  any school, playground, park, municipal building,
  installation or facility, and  under  the  jurisdiction  of  such  local
  authority  or  school  district  for  general  regulatory  or  custodial

  vehicles.
    2. Regulate the direction of traffic.
    3.  Establish lower maximum speed limits at which vehicles may proceed
  than the fifty-five miles per hour statutory maximum speed limit.
    4. Adopt such additional  reasonable  ordinances,  orders,  rules  and
  regulations  with  respect  to  traffic  as local conditions may require
  subject to the limitations contained in the various laws of this state.
    5. Provide for the removal and storage of vehicles when: (a) parked in
  the parking fields or driveways  during  snowstorms,  floods,  fires  or
  other  public emergencies; or (b) found unattended in the parking fields

   S 1671. Access of motorcycles. No local authority may enact or enforce

  which  state funds have been utilized for planning, design, construction
  or maintenance. Provided, however, that nothing contained  herein  shall
  be  deemed to supersede the authority of any local authority to regulate
  traffic pursuant to the provisions of this title, or to regulate noise.
