[Amended 5-23-2000 by Ord. No. 5-00]
This chapter is enacted in accordance with the police power granted
to municipalities to enact ordinances that are necessary for the health, safety
and welfare of the borough granted by statutes that include N.J.S.A. 39:4-197
and N.J.S.A. 39:4-197.5 to 39:4-197.7, which confer upon municipalities the
right to establish handicapped parking spaces, and N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.46, which
confers upon municipalities the right to regulate parking in parking lots.
The areas hereinafter designated as handicapped parking spaces or areas
shall be exclusively for use by persons who have been issued special identification
cards by the Division of Motor Vehicles of the State of New Jersey. No other
person shall be permitted to park in the designated spaces or areas.
Areas or spaces hereinafter designated as handicapped parking spaces
shall be so marked by signs indicating said handicapped parking spaces in
conformance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets
and Highways. It shall not be a defense to any prosecution for parking in
the designated handicapped spaces that the signing or marking of said designated
spaces does not comply with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
for Streets and Highways; provided, however, that the markings or signings
so designating the handicapped parking areas shall provide reasonable public
notice of the designation of a specific area or parking space as being exclusively
for use by handicapped persons.
