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. 39:4-138, any other New Jersey
statute or as hereinafter provided.
A.
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 Chief of Police or, in his/her 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, municipal or private construction operations, 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.
[Amended 2-16-2021 by Ord. No. 21-06]
B.
The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon the signs being
erected as required by law.
C.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this section
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.
D.
In addition to those powers as set forth in Subsections A through C, the Chief of Police shall have the power, for good cause, to temporarily suspend parking regulations on any Township street or portion thereof. If a request to suspend the parking regulations is approved by the Chief of Police, the suspension of parking regulations shall be issued by the Chief of Police or his designee, in writing, and a copy of such suspension shall be given to the applicant stating the date, location and duration of the suspension, together with such other conditions as may be required by the Chief in the interest of public safety.
A.
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the street or highway, an emergency shall exist, and no vehicles shall be parked on the following streets or highways or portions thereof listed below. The parking prohibitions listed in Subsections A, B, C and D below shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased, until the streets have been plowed significantly, and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.
