other Township ordinance in a public place.
It shall be unlawful to park, stand or unnecessarily impede the flow
of traffic over areas, drives or spaces of a municipal parking lot that are
used for the movement of motor vehicles and are so posted by signs to prohibit
such stopping or standing.
No motor vehicle shall be parked in an area designated as a loading
zone on a municipal parking lot unless it is actively engaged in loading or
unloading; nor shall a motor vehicle load or unload freight in any such lot
except in such designated loading zones, and then only for that period of
time necessary for such unloading or loading. Areas designated for such unloading
or loading shall be clearly marked or designated by signs.
Parking spaces on all municipal lots shall be marked so as to indicate
the proper direction and spacing of parked vehicles. All persons parking in
said spaces shall conform to such spacing and markings.

persons unless that person is so handicapped as provided by N.J.S.A. 39:4-205.
Any vehicle parking or standing on any municipal lot in violation of
this article shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper
regulation of traffic. The Chief of Police may provide for the removal of
such vehicle and payment by the owner of reasonable cost of the removal.
The Township Police Department, through its officers or deputized officers,
shall enforce this article and regulations promulgated hereunder as required
by law.
