Lawful parking on premises owned, leased or
operated by the Parking Authority of the Township of West Windsor
shall be allowed in accordance with the regulations prescribed herein.
[Amended 6-26-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-24]
As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION (LRP)
Scanning device used by authorized parking enforcement officers
to read license plates on vehicles that are parked on premises owned
and/or managed by the West Windsor Parking Authority. A database of
information is created based on the information provided by parking
customers when registering vehicles, and LPR allows enforcement officers
to quickly identify unauthorized and/or unregistered vehicles on these
premises.
PERMIT PARKING
The West Windsor Parking Authority has completely phased
out window decals and is in the process of phasing out all mirror
hang-tag permits. Instead the WWPA will rely upon a customer's registration
of his or her vehicle, including license plate number and other identifiers.
Parking enforcement officers shall use LPR scanning to determine whether
cars parked in "permit parking only" areas are authorized and registered
to do so.
