As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
Those vehicles that are vital or necessary for the safe and
orderly operation of the Township during a snow emergency, such as,
but not limited to, police vehicles and public works vehicles.
Any precipitation depositing any accumulation on the streets,
roads or highways, including, but not limited to, snow, sleet, hail,
or freezing rain.
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that
it covers a Township street, an emergency shall exist and no vehicle
shall be parked on any Township street or portions thereof.
A.Â
Parking of any vehicle on any portion of a Township
road, street, or highway improved, designated, or ordinarily used
for vehicular traffic is prohibited whenever snow has fallen and results
in an accumulation sufficient to require plowing of Township roads,
streets, or highways by the Little Egg Harbor Township Department
of Public Works.
B.Â
The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect
after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently
and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal
flow of traffic.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked in violation of
this article 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 such vehicle.
Driving restrictions may be imposed as warranted
by the severity of the storm to ensure the safety of the general public.
A.Â
Nothing in this article shall be construed to permit
parking at any time or place where it is forbidden by other provisions
of the New Jersey statutes or the Township Code.
B.Â
Nothing in this article shall be construed to conflict
with the provisions of the New Jersey statutes pertaining to driving
during emergencies.
A.Â
Any person violating or failing to comply with any
other provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be
punished by a fine not to exceed $1,250, 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 continuation of such
violation for each successive day shall constitute a separate offense,
and the person or persons allowing or permitting the continuation
of the violation may be punished as provided above for each separate
offense.
B.Â
The violation of any provisions of this article shall
be subject to abatement summarily by a restraining order or injunction
issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.
