A.Â
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate any motorized vehicle, including motorcycles, snowmobiles, minibikes, trail bikes, motor scooters, go-carts, motorized skateboards, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and dune buggies or any other vehicle in the class known as "recreational vehicles" on any property or under any circumstances described in § 212-2 hereof.
The property to be regulated by this chapter is as follows:
A.Â
All privately owned property and publicly owned property off the
improved right-of-way, except driveways leading to and from the public
right-of-way and residential right-of-way.
The Township Council hereby enacts this chapter because it finds
that operation of such motorized vehicles has been conducted:
The terms and provisions of this chapter shall not be applicable
to police or other emergency vehicles, including but not limited to
ambulances, motorcycles, fire control vehicles and the like, or to
motorized lawnmowers, tractors or farm vehicles or construction equipment.
The Division of Police of the Department of Public Safety is
hereby authorized to confiscate and impound any motorized vehicle
which is allegedly operated in violation of the terms of this chapter.
[Amended 9-25-78 by Ord. No. 78-61]
Notwithstanding anything contained in this chapter to the contrary,
application may be made to the East Brunswick Township Council to
obtain a permit for a time period not exceeding three (3) months for
the use of any vehicle regulated by this chapter on specific property.
Notice of the application shall be served on all residents and owners
of property within two hundred (200) feet of the subject property.
The Council may issue a permit for the property if it finds that the
proposed area shall be sufficient for the intended purpose, that adequate
parking is available, that the means of ingress and egress are adequate
to prevent traffic hazard, congestion or excessive interference with
normal traffic movement on adjacent public streets and thoroughfares
and that the property can be so used without adversely affecting the
neighborhood. The permit shall be deemed to have been automatically
renewed for additional periods of three (3) months each if no written
complaint has been filed with the Township Clerk. If a written complaint
has been filed with the Township Clerk, notice of same shall be served
upon the holder of the permit and the permit shall expire at the end
of the three-month period in questions unless a new application is
filed and approved as set forth herein.

by this chapter, whether by wholesale, retail, mail order catalog
