Advisory

Please see attached for our Borough Ordinance about parking on snow covered roadways. Please be safe!

§ 230-37 Parking on snow-covered streets prohibited; exceptions.
A.
It is the purpose and intent of this section, in the interests of public safety and the general welfare of the Borough, to facilitate snow removal from curb to curb on public streets of the Borough as efficiently and expeditiously as possible after a snowfall.
B.
Despite any regulation to the contrary, no person shall park a vehicle upon either side of any public street or allow any portion of a vehicle to extend into the roadway when any accumulation of snow completely covers the roadway and obstructs road markings.
C.
The above parking prohibition shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased until the entire block on which a vehicle seeks to park has been plowed.
D.
This section shall not be applicable to locations designated for metered parking pursuant to § 230-41, except during the following hours:
(1)
From 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.

(2)
From 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., on the south and west sides of the street.

(3)
From 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., on the north and east sides of the street.
E.
As used in this section, the term "snow" shall mean any precipitation depositing any accumulation on the public streets of the Borough requiring plowing, including, without limitation, snow, sleet, hail or ice.
F.
Regulatory and warning signs in accordance with N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 shall be erected and maintained at major street entrances to the Borough for motor vehicles. Signs for exempt streets shall be posted as applicable. Notice of said parking prohibition shall be deemed adequate when posted on the Borough website and available via a prerecorded phone message.
G.
Vehicles displaying a valid handicapped placard or having handicapped license plates otherwise legally parked shall be permitted to remain parked without violating this section notwithstanding that snow is covering the street.
