The 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 Roosevelt, in the County of Monmouth, State of
New Jersey does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Control
Devices for Streets 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 utility that
fails to comply with the provisions of the M.U.T.C.D. while performing
such work is in violation of this section.
[New]
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or
in the case of a public utility as required under a public utility
agreement, wishing to conduct work on, under or above the street to
contact the Borough Engineer, in order to arrange a preconstruction
meeting and 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 such work,
or whose plans are not approved by the Borough Engineer is in violation
of this section.
[New]
The person, contractor or utility shall provide at least two
emergency contract 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 must be made, or
if the emergency contact person does not respond to a call from the
Borough Engineer, Superintendent of Public Works or other appropriate
Borough Official to correct such hazardous condition, the Borough
may respond to correct the hazardous condition(s). The reasonable
fees for such emergency services by the Borough shall be charged to
the person, contractor, or utility responsible for the condition.
[New]
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. The Borough Engineer, Superintendent of Public
Works or other appropriate Borough Official may adjust this time limit
to permit work prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. If the Borough
Official in charge determines 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.
[New]
Road closing and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted unless
approved by the Borough Engineer, the Superintendent of Public Works
or the Mayor.
[New]
Traffic directors shall be posted at all construction or maintenance
sites when determined by the Borough Engineer, Superintendent of Public
Works or the Mayor that same is necessary to provide for the safe
and expeditious movement of traffic.
[New]
A Police Officer, the Borough Engineer, the Superintendent of
Public Works or the Mayor 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 related
work, in order to abate any nuisance and/or safety hazard or for any
violation of this section.

or equipment are to be placed in the roadway or sidewalk or until

this section shall, upon conviction thereof for a 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

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.
[Ord. No. 27]

to parking and other matters covered by this chapter as in their judgment
may be deemed necessary and proper.

a.
Upon
the declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon streets
where temporary EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs are displayed. The Emergency
Management Coordinator, Borough Administrator, Mayor or Superintendent
of Public Works is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct
the posting of EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs when weather conditions,
accidents, road construction, 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.
b.
The
effectiveness of this subsection is contingent upon the signs being
erected as required by law.
[New]
a.
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers
the streets or highways, an emergency shall exist and no vehicles
shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions thereof indicated.
The above parking prohibitions listed 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.
b.
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 The Mayor, the Borough Administrator, Superintendent of Public
Works 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
