     § 6301.  Prosecutions under local ordinances superseded by
                title.
        Except for parking violations, when the same conduct is
     proscribed under this title and a local ordinance, the charge
     shall be brought under this title and not under the local
     ordinance. Prosecutions brought under any local ordinance, rule
     or regulation, which are based on a violation for which there is
     a specific penalty provided in this title, except for parking
     violations, shall be deemed as having been brought under this
     title and the assessment and disposition of the fines and
     forfeitures shall be so governed. Local ordinances relating to
     parking shall prescribe fines for violations and may authorize
     the payment of penalties in lieu of fines and costs under
     prescribed conditions.
