In accordance with N.J.S.A. 40:67-16.9, the

Prior to the closing of any municipal street, in accordance
with this chapter, the Mayor shall confer with the Public Safety Director,

concerning the municipal street to be closed and the duration of the
closure of said municipal street.
B.Â
In the event the Mayor, acting under the authority
of this chapter, determines the municipal street, or portion thereof,
should be closed for a specific period of time, the Mayor shall direct
that proper warning signs of such closing be posted on any municipal
street, or portion thereof, during the time that municipal street,
or portion thereof, is closed.

Any person violating or failing to comply with any
other provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be
punishable by a fine not to exceed $1,000, by imprisonment not to
exceed 90 days or by community service of not more than 90 days or
any combination of fine, imprisonment and community service, as determined
in the discretion of the Municipal Court Judge. The combination of
