The owners or operators of motor vehicles with
Town of Boonton annual parking permits shall display a current and
valid annual parking permit by suspending it from the vehicle's inside
rearview mirror, so that the permit can be seen readily from outside
the vehicle, when parking said motor vehicle in a long-term regular
space only. It shall be presumptive evidence of unlawfully parking
of a motor vehicle in a long-term regulated parking space if and when
the annual parking permit is not displayed in the appropriate manner
described above. However, if the permit holder fails to display the
permit, the violation may be dismissed no more than two times per
calendar year.
Town of Boonton annual parking permits that
have been lost, stolen or mutilated must be reported by the purchaser
to the police department in which the loss or theft took place. The
purchaser must provide a copy of said police report to the Town of
Boonton prior to a replacement permit being issued. Mutilated parking
permits must be brought to the Boonton Town Clerk. A fee is required
for the replacement of annual parking permits for any reason.
It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of a motor vehicle to park said vehicle in any regulated parking space during the hours of operation as defined in § 201-46 without first paying the required fee. It shall be unlawful to allow or permit such motor vehicle to remain parked for a longer period than that covered by the fee paid or the free time allowed. It shall be unlawful and an offense for an owner or operator of a motor vehicle to remain in any parking space regulated by a parking meter while the parking meter adjacent thereto is displaying a signal showing that the time allotted for parking in such place has expired.
Upon the expiration of the legal parking time,
it shall be the duty of the owner or operator of the motor vehicle
to remove forthwith the motor vehicle from the regulated parking space,
and it shall be unlawful for any person to cause, allow, permit or
suffer any such motor vehicle to be parked or stand overtime or remain
therein beyond the parking time limit prescribed by Town of Boonton
ordinance or resolution.
It shall be unlawful and an offense for any
person to deposit or cause to be deposited in a parking meter any
coins for the purpose of extending the parking time beyond the total
lawful parking period fixed by the ordinances of the Town of Boonton
for the parking space alongside of next to which the parking meter
is placed.
It shall be unlawful and an offense for any
person to cause any vehicle owned or operated by him to be moved from
one regulated parking space to another regulated parking space for
the purpose of extending the parking time of said vehicle beyond the
established parking time limit. It shall be presumptive evidence when
a person moves any vehicle owned or operated by him from one regulated
parking space to another regulated parking space which is in close
proximity to or in the general area of the original parking space
that it is for the purpose to avoid the established parking time limit.
This provision is directed at preventing what is commonly termed "feeding
the meter" at spaces which are regulated by meters or "car jockeying"
at spaces regulated by other means and is enacted to provide for the
convenience of legal turnover of regulated parking spaces.
[Added 3-18-2019 by Ord.

and systems as may be necessary to maintain the same in good operating

to show or display by a signal facing the street that the parking
space adjacent to such meter is or is not legally in use. Each poled

vehicle beyond the two-hour maximum in these spaces during this time
period. All required fees at metered long-term regulated spaces, or
