[Amended 1-19-2021 by Ord. No. 693]
Any vehicle parked in violation of this chapter shall be deemed
a nuisance and a menace to the safety and proper regulation of traffic,
and any Franklin Township police officer may provide for the removal
of such vehicle. The owner shall bear 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 chapter or any supplement thereto shall be liable to a penalty in accordance with § 1-15 of the Code of the Borough of Buena.
All former traffic ordinances of the Borough of Buena are hereby
repealed, and all ordinances or parts of the ordinances in conflict
with or inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter are hereby
repealed, except that this repeal shall not affect or prevent the
prosecution or punishment of any person for any act done or committed
in violation of any ordinance hereby repealed prior to the taking
effect of this chapter.
The provisions of this chapter imposing a time limit on parking
shall not relieve any person of the duty to observe other, more restrictive
provisions prohibiting or limiting the stopping or standing or parking
of vehicles as set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:4-8, N.J.S.A. 39:4-197 and
any other New Jersey statute or as hereinafter provided.
A.
In accordance with N.J.S.A. 39:4-8, 39:4-197.3 and 40:67-16.9, 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 Director/OIC or, in his absence, the ranking police
officer is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct the posting
of "emergency no parking" signs when weather conditions, accidents,
road construction, fire or public celebrations dictate or require
avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the
free flow of traffic. Notification that "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.
B.
The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon the signs being
erected as required by law.
A.
Removal. Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that
it covers the streets or highways, an emergency shall exist and no
vehicle shall be parked on the streets or highway portions thereof
indicated. 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.
B.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation shall be deemed
a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic,
and any police 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 purpose of this article is to establish controls and regulations
directed toward the safe and expeditious movement of traffic through
construction and maintenance zones throughout the Borough of Buena
and to provide for the safety and compensation of the workforce performing
these operations.
A.
The Borough of Buena Council hereby finds and declares that problems
of traffic control occur when traffic must be moved through or around
street construction, maintenance operations and utility work, above
and below ground, which requires blocking streets and obstructing
the normal flow of traffic, and that such obstructions are or can
become dangerous when not properly controlled. In order to better
promote the public health, safety, peace and welfare, it is necessary
to enact such guiding principles whereas the aforementioned potential
problems may be prevented and avoided.
B.
The Borough of Buena Council in the County of Atlantic and State
of New Jersey does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices, as published by the American Traffic Safety Services
Association (ATSSA) hereafter known as "MUTCD," except as hereby supplemented
and amended, as it controls and regulates whenever construction, maintenance
operations or utility work obstructs the normal flow of traffic. A
person, contractor or utility that fails to comply with the provisions
of MUTCD while performing such work is in violation of this article.
C.
Statutory authority. In accordance with the provisions of N.J.S.A.
39:4-197.3, the governing body of the Borough is authorized to adopt
special traffic regulations by resolution when declaring an emergent
or temporary condition that warrants special traffic regulations.
These regulations may be provided for a period of time not to exceed
three months from the effective date of the resolution. Notice of
these regulations shall be given as required by N.J.S.A. 39:4-198.
Approval of an emergency resolution is required from the Commissioner
of Transportation to be effective pursuant to N.J.S.A. 39:4-202.
D.
Director authorized to perform certain actions.
(1)
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 39:4-98.2, the Director is designated as the
official authorized to reduce the regular speed limit on streets under
local jurisdiction for up to 72 hours for the purpose of street maintenance
and repairs.
(2)
Traffic detours shall be permitted and traffic directors shall be
posted at all construction or maintenance sites when it is determined
by the Director/OIC that it is necessary for the health, safety and
welfare of the public.
[Amended 1-19-2021 by Ord. No. 693]
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or
utility wishing to conduct work on, under or above the roadway to
contact the Franklin Township Police Department in order to arrange
a preconstruction meeting to submit plans for the safe movement of
traffic during the period of construction of work. The Franklin Township
Police Department has the authority to dictate the number of certified
police officers required to ensure the safe movement of traffic in
the construction zone. Any person, contractor or utility who fails
to comply with this article prior to the start of such work and whose
plans are not approved by the Franklin Township Police Department
is in violation of this article.
[Amended 1-19-2021 by Ord. No. 693]
The person, contractor or utility shall provide the Franklin
Township Police Department with at least two emergency contact phone
numbers to be called in the case of any emergency at the construction
or maintenance site prior to the start of any work. If for any reason
the emergency contact person cannot be reached or if the emergency
person does not respond to the call from the Franklin Township Police
Department to correct the hazardous situation, the Borough may respond
and correct such hazardous conditions. The reasonable fees for such
emergency service by the Borough shall be charged to the person, contractor
or utility responsible for such conditions.
[Amended 1-19-2021 by Ord. No. 693]
Generally, there shall be no construction, Borough maintenance
operations or utility work on any roadway in the Borough before the
hour of 7:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted
to permit work prior to 7:00 a.m. or after 5:00 p.m. by the Franklin
Township Police Department if reasonable conditions apply and after
thoroughly reviewing such request.
[Amended 1-19-2021 by Ord. No. 693]
Road closings and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted
unless approved by the Franklin Township Police Department.
Traffic directors, i.e., those police officers certified by
Rutgers University as knowledgeable of the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices, shall be posted at all construction or maintenance
sites when determined by the Director/OIC, or his designee, that same
is necessary to provide for the safe and expeditious movement of traffic.
The Director/OIC or his designee shall have the authority to
stop work, including effecting the removal of equipment and vehicles,
stored material within the street right-of-way, backfilling of open
excavations and/or other related work, in order to abate any nuisance
and/or safety hazard or for any violation of this article. The Borough
may respond and correct any such hazardous and/or nuisance conditions.
The reasonable fees for such emergency service by the Borough shall
be charged to the person, contractor or utility responsible for such
conditions.
No materials, vehicles or equipment are to be placed in the
roadway or sidewalk area until all construction, signs, lights, devices
and pavement markings are installed.
A.
Payment for all certified police officers working all construction
highway details for directing the appropriate movement of traffic
flow may be coordinated by the Director/OIC or designee. The payment
shall be the appropriate rate designated by the Police Department
with an additional appropriate percentage fee for fringe benefits,
to include but not be limited to social security, unemployment insurance,
workers' compensation and an administrative fee of 5% added to the
subtotal for all of the expenses that are required. The aforementioned
fees shall be waived for nonprofit organizations, local government,
local government authorities or other special districts of government
and any other just cause and determined by the Director/OIC and affirmed
through resolution by Borough Council.
(1)
Rate: $50 per hour to be paid to each officer from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00
p.m.
(a)
Hours worked between 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. will be at a rate
of $60 per hour.
(2)
Administrative fee: $10 per hour for each officer to be retained
by the Borough to recover costs associated.
(3)
Minimum block of time: A minimum of four hours will be paid for each
officer working each detail regardless of the actual time worked.
B.
In the event the Director/OIC or designee determines that the use
of a police motor vehicle is necessary, a fee of $50 per day or any
part thereof for the use of said vehicle will be charged and made
payable to the Borough of Buena. Reference is made to Borough of Buena
Code concerning third-party Police Department overtime.
C.
All payments for road detail assignments shall be paid in advance
through an off-duty police escrow account to be known as the "police
overtime account," and all funds collected for services rendered shall
be paid by and through such account. Reference is made to Borough
of Buena Ordinance for third-party overtime. The Director/OIC with
consent of the Mayor may waive the prepayment requirement or may amend
prepayment requirement to partial deposit.
The person, contractor or utility company shall provide the
Borough of Buena Administrator a certificate of insurance naming the
Borough of Buena as an additional insured on a general liability insurance
policy having policy limits not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence.
[Amended 1-19-2021 by Ord. No. 693]
Any person, contractor or utility company shall complete an
application for a traffic director, which said application shall contain
an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Borough of Buena for
any claims or actions brought as a result of the use of Franklin Township
Police Department police officers by said party, including all attorney
fees.
A.
Any person, contractor, or utility who commits a violation of this
article shall, upon conviction thereof, for the first offense, pay
a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $1,000 and/or may be imprisoned
in the county jail for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both; for
a second offense, upon conviction thereof, pay a fine of not less
than $1,000 nor more than $2,500 and/or may be imprisoned in the county
jail for a term not exceeding 90 days, or both.
B.
A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day or on which
each violation occurs or continues to occur.
