[Amended 10-18-2022 by Ord. No. 22-19]
The Westwood Parking Utility is hereby directed and authorized to cause to be marked off individual parking spaces in the parking zones designated and described in §§ 375-42 through 375-46 of this article and in such other zones as may hereinafter be established. Said parking spaces are to be designated by lines painted or durably marked on the curbing or surface of the street. At each space so marked off, it shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in such a way that said vehicle shall not be entirely within the limits of the space so designated.
[Amended 7-21-2020 by Ord. No. 20-11; 10-18-2022 by Ord. No. 22-19]
In said parking meter zones, the Westwood Parking Utility shall cause parking meters to be installed upon the curb or sidewalk immediately adjacent to the parking spaces as provided in § 375-33 of this article, and the Parking Utility shall be responsible for the regulation, control, operation, maintenance and use of such parking meters. Each device shall be so set as to display a signal showing legal parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin or coins, lawful money of the United States of America, or use of an electronic mobile payment application (hereinafter referred to as "payment app") through a designated vendor authorized and approved by the Borough of Westwood, for the period of time prescribed by this article. Each device shall be so arranged that, upon the expiration of the lawful time limit, it will indicate by a proper visible signal that the lawful parking period has expired, and, in such cases, the right of such vehicle to occupy such space shall cease, and the operator, owner or possessor or manager thereof shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
[Amended 8-16-2016 by Ord. No. 16-20]
A.
Except
in a period of emergency determined by an officer of the Police Department
or Fire Department, or in compliance with the directions of a police
officer or traffic control sign or signal, when any vehicle shall
be parked in any parking space alongside of 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 parking meter such proper coin or coins of the United States,
or use the payment app, as are required for such parking meter and
as are 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 or coins, or use of the payment app,
shall also set in operation the timing mechanism on such meter in
accordance with the directions properly appearing thereon, and failure
to deposit such coin or coins or use the payment app and to set the
timing mechanism in operation when so required shall constitute a
violation of this article.
[Amended 7-21-2020 by Ord. No. 20-11]
B.
Upon the
deposit of such coin, or use of the payment app, and the setting of
the timing mechanism in operation as required, the parking space may
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 which indicates that unused
time has been left in the meter by the previous occupant of the space
shall not be required to deposit a coin or use the payment app 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,
notwithstanding that additional coins have been inserted, or additional
payment made through the app, then, and in such 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.
[Amended 7-21-2020 by Ord. No. 20-11]
C.
Meter
feeding shall be prohibited.
D.
An obstruction
permit will be required where a parking meter on any Borough street
or metered parking lot will be obstructed due to the placement of
dumpsters, lifts, material or construction vehicles. This permit
will only be issued in conjunction with a construction permit issued
by the Construction Official. The application fee will be $6 plus
daily meter rate. The application can be obtained from the Parking
Utility once a construction permit is issued.
