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 statute or as hereinafter provided.
A.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall
be no parking upon streets or sections where temporary emergency no
parking signs are displayed. The Mayor or the Borough Council or the
Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking police officer is
authorized to declare an emergency and to direct the posting of emergency
no parking signs when weather conditions, accidents, fires or public
celebrations dictate or require the avoidance of hazards or other
conditions which interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification
that the emergency no parking signs are being or will be posted shall
be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle which has been parked
prior to the posting of the signs.
B.
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 be responsible for
the reasonable cost of removal and storage which may result from such
removal before regaining possession of the vehicle.
C.
The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon
the signs being erected as required by law.
No person shall park a vehicle at any time upon any of the streets or parts thereof described in Schedule I (§ 222-32) attached to and made a part of this chapter.
No person shall park a vehicle between the hours specified in Schedule II (§ 222-33) of any day (except on Sundays and public holidays) upon any of the streets or parts of streets described in Schedule II attached to and made a part of this chapter.
No person shall stop or stand a vehicle between the hours specified in Schedule III (§ 222-34) of any day (except Sundays and public holidays) upon any of the streets or parts of streets described in Schedule III attached to and made a part of this chapter.
No person shall park a vehicle for longer than the time limit shown in Schedule IV (§ 222-35) at any time between the hours listed in Schedule IV of any day (except Sunday and public holidays) upon any of the streets or parts of streets described in Schedule IV attached to and made a part of this chapter.

or standing in violation of this section shall be deemed a nuisance

which may result from such removal, before regaining possession of
such vehicle.
