A.
In said parking meter zones, the Public Works Department shall cause parking meters to be installed upon the curb, sidewalk or area immediately adjacent to the parking spaces provided in § 228-46 of this article. No parking meters shall be installed in areas where parking is prohibited pursuant to provisions of N.J.S.A. 39:4-138. The Department of Public Works shall be responsible for the regulation, control, operation, maintenance and use of such parking meters.
B.
Each device shall be so set as to display a signal showing legal parking upon deposit of the appropriate coin, lawful money of the United States of America, for the period of time prescribed by said § 228-46. Each device shall be so arranged that upon the expiration of the lawful time limit it will indicate by proper visible signal that the lawful parking period has expired, and in such case the right of such vehicle to occupy such space shall cease and the operator, owner, possessor or manager thereof shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
Except in a period of emergency determined by
an officer of the Fire or Police Department, or in compliance with
the directions of a police officer or traffic control signal, when
any vehicle shall be parked in any parking space alongside or next
to which a parking meter is located, the operator of such vehicle
shall, upon entering said parking meter space, immediately deposit
or cause to be deposited in said meter such proper coin of the United
States of America as is required for such parking meter and as is
designated by proper directions on the meter, and when required by
the directions on the meter, the operator of such vehicle, after the
deposit of the proper coin, shall also set in operation the timing
mechanism on such meter in accordance with the directions properly
appearing thereon, and failure to deposit such proper coin and to
set the timing mechanism in operation when so required shall constitute
a violation of this article. Upon deposit of such coin (and the setting
of the timing mechanism in operation when so required), the parking
space shall be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period
of time which has been prescribed for the part of the street in which
said parking space is located, provided that any person placing a
vehicle in a parking meter space adjacent to a meter by the previous
occupant shall not be required to deposit a coin so long as his occupancy
of said space does not exceed the indicated unused parking time. If
said vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond
the parking time limit set for such parking space and if the meter
shall indicate such illegal parking, then and in that event such vehicle
shall be considered as parking overtime and beyond the period of legal
parking time, and such parking shall be deemed a violation of this
article.
When a parking meter space is parallel with
the adjacent curb or sidewalk, no person shall park or permit the
parking of any vehicle in such parking space in any position other
than with the foremost part of the vehicle nearest to the parking
meter; when a parking meter space is diagonal to the curb or sidewalk,
no person shall park or permit the parking of any vehicle in such
parking space in any other position than with the foremost part of
such vehicle nearest to the parking meter; when a parking meter shall
have been installed at the head of and immediately adjacent to any
parking space on a municipal off-street parking lot, no person shall
park or permit the parking of any vehicle in such parking space in
any other position than with the foremost part of such vehicle nearest
to the parking meter; provided, however, that in municipal off-street
parking lots, signs shall be erected indicating that head-on parking
only is permitted. In any event, a vehicle shall be parked within
the lines marked on the pavement measuring such space.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of the
provisions of this article for any person to:
A.
Cause, allow, permit or suffer any vehicle registered
in the name of or operated by such person to be parked overtime or
beyond the period of legal parking time established for any parking
meter zone as herein described, or to deposit in any parking meter
any coin for the purpose of parking beyond the maximum legal parking
time for the particular parking meter zone.
B.
Permit any vehicle to remain or be placed in said
parking space adjacent to any parking meter while said meter is displaying
a signal indicating that the vehicle occupying such parking space
has already been parked beyond the period prescribed for the particular
parking meter zone.
C.
Park any vehicle across any line or marking of a parking
meter space or in such position that the vehicle shall not be entirely
within the area designated by such lines or markings.
D.
Deface, injure, tamper with, open or willfully break,
destroy or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under
the provisions of this article.
E.
Deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter
any slug, device or metal substance or other substitute for lawful
coins.
F.
Park or permit the parking of any vehicle in any parking
meter space where the meter does not register lawful parking.
A.
It shall be the duty of the police officer, acting
in accordance with instructions issued by the Chief of Police, to
report:
(1)
The number of each parking meter which indicates that
the vehicle occupying the parking space adjacent to such parking meter
is or has been parked in violation of any of the provisions of this
article.
(2)
The state license number of such vehicle.
(3)
That such vehicle is parked in violation of any provision
of this article.
(4)
Any other facts, a knowledge of which is necessary
to a thorough understanding of the circumstances attending such violation.
B.
Each officer shall also attach to such vehicle a notice
to the owner thereof that such vehicle has been parked in violation
of a provision of this article and instructing such owner to report
to the Municipal Court in regard to such violation.
Any vehicle left parked for a period exceeding
three hours succeeding expiration of the maximum parking time indicated
during the hours of operation specified in the space in which the
vehicle has been parked shall be towed, under the direction of the
Police Department, to the impound yard, or any other place designated
by the Chief of Police for impoundment, subject to redemption by the
owner upon payment of the reasonable cost of towing and storage charge
of $10 for each day or portion thereof during which it remains in
said garage or other place.
The coins required to be deposited in parking
meters as provided herein are hereby levied and assessed as fees to
provide for the proper regulation and control of traffic upon the
public streets and also the cost of supervising and regulating the
parking of vehicles in the parking meter zones created thereby, and
to cover the cost of the purchase, supervision, protection, inspection,
installation, operation, maintenance, control and use of the parking
meters described herein.
It shall be the duty of the Director of Public
Works to designate some proper person or persons to make regular collections
of the moneys deposited in said meters, and it shall be the duty of
such person or persons so designated to remove from the parking meters
the locked containers therein containing the coins so deposited in
said meters and to deliver such locked containers to the Treasurer,
who shall unlock them and count the funds contained in such containers
and deposit such funds in the usual manner provided by law.
Parking or standing a vehicle in a parking meter space in the parking meter zones described in § 228-46, attached to and made part of this chapter, shall be lawful only upon the deposit of such amount as is described for each specified period of time.
In accordance with the provisions of § 228-44, parking meter zones are hereby established upon the streets or parts of streets described below. It shall be unlawful on any day, except Sundays and holidays, to park a vehicle in any such zone except upon deposit of the coins indicated for a specified period of time. (All on-street meters operate between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.)
