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, standing or parking
of vehicles as set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:4-138, any other New Jersey

of the Township where temporary emergency no-parking signs are displayed.
The Chief of Police, or, in his absence, the ranking police officer,
is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct the posting of
said emergency no-parking signs when weather conditions, accidents,
fires, or public celebrations or other circumstances or events dictate
or require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere
with the free flow of traffic, including the need to temporarily prohibit
parking for purposes of snow removal.
(2)
Notification that the emergency no-parking signs are being or will
be posted shall be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle or
placed upon or in any such vehicle which has been parked prior to
the posting of the signs.
B.
Removal of vehicles. Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in
violation of this section shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace
to the safe and proper regulation of traffic, 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 the vehicle.
C.
Posting of temporary signs. The effectiveness of this section is
contingent on temporary signs being erected as required by law.
