[Adopted 11-20-1961 by Ord. No. 256]
A.
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such
that it covers the street or highway, no vehicle shall be parked on
the following main-traveled or major roadways or portions thereof:
B.
The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect
after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently
and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal
flow of traffic.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there
shall be no parking upon streets or sections of streets where temporary
"Emergency No Parking" signs are displayed. The Chairman of the Township
Committee or, in his absence, the Chief of Police, is authorized to
declare an emergency and to direct the posting of said "Emergency
No Parking" signs when weather conditions, accidents, fires or public
celebrations dictate or require the avoidance of hazards or other
conditions which interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification
that the "Emergency No Parking" signs are being or will be posted
shall be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle which has been
parked prior to the posting of the signs.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in
violation of this article shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace
to the safe and proper regulation of traffic, and any peace officer
may provide for the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the
reasonable costs of the removal and storage which may result from
such removal, before regaining possession of the vehicle.
The effectiveness of this article is contingent
on signs being erected as required by law.
Unless another penalty is expressly provided
by New Jersey statute, every person convicted of a violation of a
provision of this article or any supplement thereto shall be liable
to a penalty of not more than $50 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding
15 days, or both.
