The title of this article shall be "Ordinance to Prohibit Parking Temporarily for Snow Plowing, Snow Removal."
A. 
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the public thoroughfares, public streets or public highways, an emergency shall exist, and no vehicle shall be parked on any of the public thoroughfares, public streets or public highways or parts thereof in the Borough of Clayton.
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.
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 police officer or the Public Works Director 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.
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 $200 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or both.
