Editor's Note: This ordinance was adopted as Art. XXXIV, but was redesignated as Art. XXXV in order to maintain the organization of the Code.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
CROSSWALK
That part of a roadway at an intersection, either marked or unmarked, existing at each approach of every roadway intersection, included within the connections of the lateral lines of the sidewalks on opposite sides of the roadway measured from the curbs or, in the absence of curbs, from the edges of the shoulder, or, if none, from the edges of the roadway; also, any portion of a roadway at an intersection or elsewhere, including midblock crossings, distinctly indicated for pedestrian crossing by lines or other markings on the surface.
INBOUND LEG
The roadway segment connected to an intersection, or portion thereof, that permits a vehicle to be driven towards an intersection in accordance with the legally established direction of traffic.
OUTBOUND LEG
The roadway segment connected to an intersection, or portion thereof, that permits a vehicle to be driven away from an intersection in accordance with the legally established direction of traffic.
PARKING LANE
The section of a roadway's width, typically no fewer than 7.5 feet, located between a travel lane and a curb that is reserved for on-street parking, where designated, and does not interfere with the safe and efficient flow of moving vehicular traffic in a travel lane.
TRAVEL LANE
The section of a roadway's width that is intended to conduct the flow of moving vehicular traffic.
A. 
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 39:4-138.6, extended parking zones are hereby established as the area in a parking lane no closer than 25 feet from the crosswalk along inbound legs of intersections, and no closer than 15 feet from the crosswalk along outbound legs of intersections, measured from the edge of the crosswalk area farthest from the center of the intersection.
B. 
Vehicles may park in extended parking zones, subject to the following:
(1) 
Vehicles in extended parking zones shall at all times comply with all other parking regulations, including but not limited to regulations on parking permits, street cleaning and parking along emergency snow routes.
(2) 
Parking within extended parking zones shall not be allowed Mondays through Fridays between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. whenever public primary or secondary schools are in session.
C. 
Due to the extreme difficulty and delay of maneuvering emergency equipment at intersections, any vehicle parked within the extended parking zone closer than 15 feet to the crosswalk at any time and for any duration shall be subject to immediate summons and tow by City enforcement staff.
D. 
The City of Hoboken shall not be required to install or maintain any markings, signs or other indications for extended parking zones; it shall be incumbent upon the driver to ensure that no vehicle is parked within 25 feet of a crosswalk on inbound legs and within 15 feet of a crosswalk on outbound legs of intersections at any time.
