[Adopted 10-1-79 by Ord. No. 1979-29]
A.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon
streets or sections of streets where temporary emergency no-parking
signs are displayed. The Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking
police officer is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct
the posting of said emergency no-parking signs when weather conditions,
accidents, fires or public celebrations dictate or require the avoidance
of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the free flow
of traffic.
B.
Notification that the emergency no-parking signs are being or will
be posted shall be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle which
has been parked prior to the posting of the signs.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this
ordinance shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and
proper regulation of traffic, and any police officer may provide for
the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs
of the removal and storage which may result from such removal before
regaining possession of the vehicle.
The effectiveness of this ordinance is contingent on signs being
erected as required by law.
Unless another penalty is expressly provided by New Jersey statute,
every person convicted of a violation of a provision of this ordinance
or any supplement thereto shall be liable to a penalty of not more
than fifty dollars ($50) or imprisonment for a term not exceeding
fifteen (15) days, or both.
