A. 
Traffic controls for street and highway construction and maintenance operations.
B. 
Adoption of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways.
The Borough of Mount Arlington Borough Council 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 or below the ground which requires blocking the street 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 establish controls and regulations directed to the safe and expeditious movement of traffic through and around construction and maintenance zones and to provide safety for the work forces performing these operations.
The Borough of Mount Arlington in the County of Morris, State of New Jersey does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Control Devices for street and highways hereafter known as the M.U.T.C.D., except as hereby supplemented and amended, as it controls and regulates whenever construction, maintenance operations or utility work obstructs the normal flow of traffic. Any person, contractor or utilities that fail to comply with the provisions of the M.U.T.C.D. while performing such work is in violation of this section.
C. 
Preconstruction meetings. It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or in the case of a public utility as required under the public utility agreement, section 16:25-9.2, wishing to conduct work on, under or above the street to contact the Police Department of the Borough of Mount Arlington in order to arrange a preconstruction meeting in order to submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such period of construction or work. Any person, contractor or utility who fails to comply with this section prior to the start of work, or whose plans are not approved by the Police Department of the Borough of Mount Arlington is in violation of this section.
D. 
Hazardous conditions. The person, contractor or utility shall provide at least two emergency contact telephone numbers to be called in case of emergency problems at the construction or maintenance site prior to the start of any work. If, for any reason, emergency contact cannot be made or if the emergency contact person does not respond to a call from the Police Department to correct the hazardous condition(s), the Borough of Mount Arlington may respond to correct the hazardous condition(s). The reasonable fees for such emergency services by the Borough of Mount Arlington shall be charged to the person, contractor, or utility responsible for the condition.
E. 
Hours. There shall be no construction, maintenance operations, or utility work on any roadway in the borough before the hour of 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m., or on any Sunday. These restrictions may only be adjusted by the Chief of Police. If it is determined by the Chief of Police that the construction or maintenance operations prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. would substantially delay traffic or cause a safety or health hazard, the work shall then be permitted only between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
F. 
Road closing. Road closing and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted unless approved by the Chief of Police.
G. 
Traffic directors. Traffic directors shall be posted at all construction or maintenance sites when determined by the Chief of Police that same is necessary to provide for the safe and expeditious movement of traffic.
H. 
Stop work. The Chief of Police shall have the authority to stop work, including the removal of equipment and vehicles, stored material within the street right-of-way, back filling of open excavations and/or other related work, in order to abate any nuisance and/or safety hazard or for any violation of this section.
I. 
Site preparation. It is to be expressly understood that no materials, vehicles or equipment are to be placed in the roadway or sidewalk or right-of-way until all construction, signs, light devices and pavement markings are installed.
J. 
Violations and penalties. Any person, contractor or utility who commits a violation of this section shall, upon conviction thereof for the first offense pay a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500 and/or be imprisoned in the county jail for a term not exceeding 90 days.
For a second offense, upon conviction thereof, pay a fine of not less than $250 and/or be imprisoned in the county jail for a term not exceeding 90 days.
A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which violation occurs or continues.
K. 
Regulations not exclusive. 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, 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.
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 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, fires, public celebrations, etc. 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.
The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon signs being erected as required by law.
A. 
Removal. Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the streets and highways, an emergency shall exist and no vehicle shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions thereof indicated.
The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased and until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic.
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 gaining possession of the vehicle.
