The following words and phrases, which are not defined in Subtitle
1 of Title 39 of the Revised Statutes of New Jersey, shall have the
meanings respectively ascribed to them in this section for purposes
of this Article:
A mechanical device or meter not inconsistent with this Article
placed or erected for the regulation of parking by authority of this
Article. Each "parking meter" installed shall indicate by proper legend
the legal parking time established by the City of Orange Township
and, when operated, shall at all times indicate the balance of legal
parking time and, at the expiration of such period, shall indicate
illegal or overtime parking.
Any space within a parking meter zone, adjacent to a parking
meter and which is duly designated for the parking of a single vehicle
by lines painted or otherwise durably marked on the curb or on the
surface of the street or lot adjacent to or adjoining the parking
meters.
Any restricted on-street or off-street parking area upon
which parking meters are installed and in operation.
The Director of Public Works is hereby directed and authorized to provide for the marking off of individual parking spaces in the parking zones designated and described in § 200-64, said parking spaces to be designated by lines painted or marked on the curbing or surface of the street or lot. 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.
In said parking meter zones, the Director of Public Works shall cause parking meters to be installed upon the curb, sidewalk or area immediately adjacent to the parking spaces provided for in § 200-64 of this Article. No parking meters shall be installed in areas where parking is prohibited pursuant to the provisions of N.J.S.A. 39:4-135. The Director of Public Works 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, lawful money of the United States of America, for the period of time prescribed in § 200-64. 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 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 sign or 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 the 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 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 the deposit of such coin (and the setting of the timing
mechanism in operation when so 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 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 other position than with the foremost
part of such 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 parking 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 any 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 such parking space.
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 officers, 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 of the provisions
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 such police 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 twenty-four (24)
hours succeeding expiration of the maximum parking time indicated
during the hours of operation specified in the space in which the
vehicle is parked shall be towed, under the direction of the Police
Department, to the municipal garage 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 a storage
charge as provided by contract 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 Finance to finance 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.
A.
The payment of the fee for parking by deposit of the coin or coins
as established by ordinance shall not be required in parking meter
