Full Notification

Newark Public Safety Director Anthony F. Ambrose reports that snow is predicted for tomorrow, Saturday, January 18, 2020, beginning after 9 a.m.

Snow accumulations of between 1 and 3 inches are possible, with gusty winds of up to 21 mph. Rain, which may produce flooding, is expected to be mixed with snow before midnight.

Because motorists can become stranded by driving through flooded streets and high water, drivers are asked to avoid certain locations and to use alternative routes.

All residents are asked to observe the city’s “No Parking on Snow Covered Roads” regulations due to the expected snowfall. Signs have been posted on streets throughout the City of Newark to notify motorists of the streets designated for No Parking on Snow Covered Roads. Motorist and residents are urged to look for the sign pictured below to identify the streets where the parking ban will be enforced.

Violators can expect to be issued a summons and towed. These regulations are essential to the removal/plowing of snow and salting operations and to allow emergency vehicles to pass. Whenever possible, off-street parking is recommended during snow storms. That may mean partnering with a neighbor to use their driveway.

All residents are reminded that tossing snow into the street is against the law, and violators will be fined.
