[Added 6-12-2008 by Ord. No. 13-08]
Pursuant to the provisions of the Uniform Code
of New Jersey, N.J.A.C. 5:70-1 et seq., the Borough of Rockaway hereby
creates fire lanes/zones in order to address concerns relating to
parking and the obstruction of fire equipment as follows:
A. Definition. As used in this section, a "fire lane"
or "fire zone" shall be interchangeable. A fire lane/zone is defined
as any designated area that may be part of a traffic circulation system
and/or the areas of ingress/egress adjacent to a building or other
designated location so as to provide an immediate and unobstructed
route and/or access for fire-fighting operations, equipment and personnel.
B. Fire lane/zone designation. The Fire Marshal, under
the direction of the New Jersey Uniform Fire Code, shall designate
fire lanes/zones within the Borough of Rockaway.
C. Marking of fire lanes/zones. It shall be the responsibility
of the owner(s) or operator(s) of the premises upon which the fire
lane/zone is established to install the appropriate identification
at his expense. All fire lane/zone markings shall be maintained and
be legible at all times in accordance with the following:
(1)
Striping and curbs. Where applicable, fire lanes/zones
shall be identified by painting the curb yellow and be striped with
yellow lines four inches in width placed diagonally from the curb
or road edge and shall be outlined along their entire perimeter. Fire
lane/zone widths and lengths shall be designed by the Fire Marshal
as appropriate.
(2)
Pavement lettering. The legend "NO PARKING FIRE
LANE/ZONE" shall be placed within the striped area of the fire lane/zone
at a minimum of one-hundred-foot intervals or as designated by the
Fire Marshal. The lettering shall be 18 inches high and yellow in
color.
(3)
Signage. In areas where striping cannot be applied,
a metal "No Parking Fire Lane/Zone" sign shall be posted. Fire lane/zone
signs shall measure 12 inches by 18 inches and have a white reflective
background with a minimum two-inch-high red reflective lettering which
reads "NO PARKING FIRE LANE/ZONE." Fire lane/zone signs shall be displayed
at the beginning and end of the fire lane/zone and at such intervals
as required by the Fire Marshal, but not more than 100 feet center
to center. Fire lane/zone signs shall be placed at a height of seven
feet as measured from the ground surface to the top of the sign and
shall be placed facing the direction of traffic flow. Fire lane/zone
signs may be placed on existing supports.
D. Serviceability. Any and all fire lanes/zones created
prior to this section are hereby continued in effect. It shall be
at the discretion of the Fire Marshal if repairs or modifications
shall be made to any preexisting fire lanes/zones if they are not
in conformity with the section. In no circumstance shall modifications
be permitted which will create a lesser standard than the original
approval of said Fire Lane/Zone.
E. Enforcement. The Fire Marshal and the Police Department
shall have concurrent jurisdiction to enforce the provisions of this
section.
F. Designation of fire lanes. The locations described in Schedule XXXI (§
241-80) are hereby designated fire lanes.
G. Parking prohibited or obstruction of fire lanes/zones.
It is hereby prohibited for any person at any time to park, stop,
stand or leave an unattended motor vehicle in areas designated as
a fire lane/zone, nor shall any person, firm or corporation place
or construct any structure in an area designated as a fire lane/zone
which will impair the access of fire-fighting apparatus, firefighters
or impair the use of any exit or exit discharge of a building.
H. Violations and penalties. Any person who violates Subsection
G of this section shall be assessed a fine of $100 per occurrence for parking in and/or obstructing any designated fire lane/zone, both public and private, within the boundaries of the Borough of Rockaway. If deemed necessary by the enforcing agency, the vehicle may be removed and stored at the owner's expense. Persons pleading guilty or who are convicted in Municipal Court of violating this section shall also incur any court costs associated with appearing in court. Court costs and fines shall be payable to the Clerk of the Municipal Court. The Court shall turn over any monies collected for this violation to the Municipal Treasurer as prescribed by law.
