[Adopted 9-21-1966 by Ord. No. 277; amended in its entirety 11-18-2013 by Ord. No. Z-266]
The Director of the Department of Law, Division of Public Safety,
of the City of Hoboken is hereby authorized to establish, immediately,
zones to be known as "parking meter zones" in and upon the parking
area hereinafter described, where parking will be permitted for periods
not exceeding 360 minutes on the following described area in the City
of Hoboken:
A. All that certain lot, tract or parcel of land and premises, situate,
lying and being in the City of Hoboken, County of Hudson, and State
of New Jersey, and known and designated as "351-353 Fourth Street,
Block 52, Lot 21"; "355 Fourth Street, Block 52, Lot 20"; and "357
Fourth Street, Block 52, Lot 19."
B. The ingress and egress as the same exist for said parking lot are
shown on a plan of the parking area above described, which is annexed
hereto and made a part hereof.
C. Signs shall be posted at the aforesaid entrances and exists clearly
marked, and the pavement portion thereof shall also indicate clearly
thereon whether it is an exit or an entrance with an arrow designating
the direction in which traffic may move onto or off of said parking
area.
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones, as established in §
140-2, shall be placed upon the specific area designated for parking immediately adjacent to said parking places as described in the chapter. Each parking meter shall be placed or set in such manner as to show or display, by a signal, that the parking space adjacent to such meter is or is not legally in use. Each parking meter shall be so set as to show or display a signal showing legal parking for the space alongside such meter for a period for two hours, maximum allowable time, upon a deposit therein of a $0.25 coin of the United States of America for each fifteen-minute period, and the parking limit shall be set forth on a legend affixed to the meter. Each parking meter installed shall indicate by a proper legend the legal parking time established by the City and, when operated, shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of the period of legal parking and, upon the expiration of such period, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking. The directions contained in the aforesaid legend as to the time limit specified thereon shall be for designated legal parking time in such area of control. All parking meters shall be operational for the time period Monday through Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
When any vehicle shall be parked in any space adjacent to which
a parking meter is located in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter, the operator of said vehicle shall, upon entering said parking
space, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited a ten-cent coin
of the United States in such parking meter for a time not to exceed
60 minutes, or should such operator desire such vehicle to be parked
for a period of 120 minutes, then he shall deposit an additional ten-cent
coin for such additional hour for which the parking space is so to
be used, or should such operator desire such vehicle to be parked
for a three-hundred-sixty-minute period, he shall deposit a twenty-five-cent
coin, and failure to deposit such coins shall constitute a breach
of this chapter and shall subject such person to the penalty prescribed
in § 174-7 hereof. Upon the deposit of a ten-cent coin for
each sixty-minute period, or upon the deposit of a twenty-five-cent
coin for a three-hundred-sixty-minute period, and placing said meter
in operation, such parking space may be lawfully occupied by such
vehicle during the period of parking time as indicated on said parking
meter but in no case in excess of the 120 consecutive minutes, or
in excess of the three-hundred-sixty-consecutive-minute period. If
said vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond
the parking time limit fixed for such parking space, or as indicated
on said parking meter, the parking meter shall, by its dial and pointer,
indicate such illegal parking; and in that event, such vehicle shall
be considered as parked overtime and beyond the period of legal parking
time, as above set forth, and the parking of a vehicle overtime or
beyond the period of legal parking time, as above set forth, in any
such part of a street, road or parking lot contiguous to said road
or street where such meter is located, shall be a violation of this
chapter and the operator of such vehicle so parked punished as hereinafter
set out.
Nothing in this article shall be construed as prohibiting the
City of Hoboken from providing for bus stops, taxicab stands and other
matters of similar nature, including the loading or unloading of trucks,
vans, or other commercial vehicles.
