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.

when weather conditions, accidents, fire or public celebrations dictate
or require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere
with the free flow of traffic. Notification that 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 menace to the safe
and proper regulations of traffic and any police officer may provide
for the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable
costs of removal and storage which may result from such removal before
regaining possession of the vehicle.

the signs being erected as required by law.
