or, in his absence, disability or inability to act, the Assistant
Commissioner of Streets and Roads, is hereby authorized to provide
by regulation for the closing of any street or portion thereof to

any other New Jersey statute or as hereinafter provided.
A. Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall

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. The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon
the signs being erected as required by law.

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.
B. Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation
shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation
of traffic, and the Municipal Violations Officer or 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 the vehicle.
