A. 
Emergency no parking. The Director of Public Safety or the senior ranking police officer, acting in the absence of the Director of Public Safety, is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct the posting of emergency no-parking signs whenever the Director of Public Safety or the senior ranking police officer determines that weather conditions, accidents, road construction, fires or public celebrations require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the free 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.
B. 
Signs and notification. Emergency no-parking signs shall be posted in any area where the parking has been prohibited during an emergency. 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. Notice placed upon the windshield of the vehicle at least one hour in advance of the effective time shall constitute sufficient notice.
A. 
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the streets or highways, after a forecast for the Philadelphia area predicting an accumulation of two inches or more has been broadcast on television or radio or published in the Burlington County Times, at least 12 hours in advance, an emergency shall exist, and no vehicle shall be parked on any street or highway within the Township of Willingboro.
B. 
The 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 or with snowplowing or removal operations.
C. 
Whenever parking shall be prohibited under this section, and in order to facilitate the plowing and removal of snow accumulation in residential areas, the owner of a residential property may temporarily park vehicles on the landscaped front yard portion of the property where the vehicle or vehicles cannot be accommodated in the paved driveway. The permission to park on the landscaped front yard portion of the property shall end when the street has been sufficiently plowed to permit normal on-street parking without obstruction to traffic or interference with snowplowing or removal operations.
D. 
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 the removal before regaining possession of the vehicle.
E. 
Any violation of this section shall be punished as provided in § 356-43, Violations and penalties.[1]

C. 
Standards for establishment of fire zones. The location, dimensions, markings and number of fire zone signs that shall be required in a fire zone shall be determined by the Township Manager upon advice from the Fire Marshal, Fire Official, Fire Chief and Director of Public Safety, based upon the size, type and location of the structures; provided, however, that each fire zone shall:
(1) 
Be not less than 10 feet nor more than 50 feet in width and shall be striped and lettered in yellow, on a paved surface. The striping and lettering shall be legible at all times and shall comply with all standards required by law.
(2) 
Have signs, the lettering on which shall be legible at all times, which shall advise that the area is a fire zone. The signs shall comply with the standards set forth in this section and with all standards required by law.
(3) 
All automatic sprinkler Fire Department connections and fire hydrants in open parking areas will be designated and marked as fire zones.
D. 
Responsibilities of owners and occupants of property with fire zones.
