No person shall park a vehicle for longer than the time limit shown
in Schedule IV, Time Limit Parking, at any time between the hours
listed in Schedule IV of any day upon any of the streets or parts
of streets described in Schedule IV below.
B.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, where, by reason of exceptional narrowness,
shallowness or shape of a specific piece of property or by reason
of exceptional topographic conditions or by reason of other extraordinary
and exceptional situations or conditions which preclude the accommodation
of off-street parking, thereby resulting in practical and economic
hardship to the residents of the property, then, upon application
to and approval by the Mayor and Council, the Chief of Police is authorized
to issue a permit for the on-street parking of not more than two vehicles
during the hours of 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. on the street abutting
the lot upon which such residents reside. Any permit issued pursuant
to the provisions of this section shall not exceed a period of six
months from the date of its issuance; provided, however, that in those
instances where the physical characteristics of the lot preclude the
accommodation of any off-street parking whatsoever, the Mayor and
Council may authorize the Chief of Police to issue a permanent on-street
parking permit. If the renewal of any temporary permit issued under
this section is desired, the permittee shall, at least 30 days prior
to the expiration date of the existing permit, submit an application
to the Mayor and Council for renewal. Permits under this section shall
not be transferable; provided, however, that those permits approved
by the Mayor and Council as being permanent in nature shall be transferable
to successors in title of the licensee and their lessees.

The Mayor and the Chief of Police of the Borough of North Caldwell,
are hereby authorized to provide by regulation for the closing of

or days whenever he finds that such closing is necessary for the preservation
of the public safety, health or welfare.
(2)

(3)
Any violation of this regulation promulgated hereunder shall be punished

unless and until it has been submitted to and approved by the Commissioner
of the Department of Transportation.
B.

The Mayor and/or the Chief of Police are hereby authorized, if he shall find that a safety problem exists for ingress and egress to any public or private school or for the provision of recreational facilities for children attending such school, or both, due to lack of a suitable area surrounding the school, to close by regulation any portion of any street within the block upon which such school is located, to the use of through traffic during such time as he shall determine, not to exceed 1 hour between 7:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., 2 hours between 11:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and 1 hour between 2:30 and 4:30 p.m., on any days upon which such school is in session and to permit the use of said portion of said street, during said hours, for ingress and egress to such school, and for the use by the pupils of such school for recreational purposes, under proper supervision and to provide adequate police facilities for such supervision and for the control of traffic upon such portion of said street, and shall provide for the posting of proper warning signs in said street indicating that said street is so closed and the purpose thereof, during the time when the same is so closed and shall provide that the penalties for the violation of this section 99-20B or of any regulation promulgated thereunder shall be as stated in § 99-18.
[New]
A.
Adoption of the "Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets
and Highways."
The Borough Council finds and declares that problems of traffic
control occur when traffic must be moved through or around street
construction, maintenance operations and utility work, above or below
the ground which requires blocking the street and obstructing the
normal flow of traffic; and that such obstructions are or can become
dangerous when not properly controlled. In order to better promote
the public health, safety, peace and welfare, it is necessary to establish
controls and regulations directed to the safe and expeditious movement
of traffic through and around construction and maintenance zones and
to provide safety for the work forces performing these operations.
The Borough of North Caldwell does hereby adopt the current
Manual on Uniform Control Devices for Streets and Highways hereafter
known as the M.U.T.C.D., except as hereby supplemented and amended,
as it controls and regulates whenever construction, maintenance operations
or utility work obstructs the normal flow of traffic. Any person,
contractor or utility that fails to comply with the provisions of
the M.U.T.C.D. while performing such work is in violation of this
section.
B.
Preconstruction meeting.
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or
in the case of a public utility as required under public utility agreement,
wishing to conduct work on, under or above the street to contact the
Police Department of the Borough in order to arrange a pre-construction
meeting and submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such
period of construction or work. Any person, contractor or utility
who fails to comply with this section prior to the start of such work,
or whose plans are not approved by the Police Department is in violation
of this section.
C.
Emergency contact telephone numbers.
The person, contractor or utility shall provide at least two
emergency contact telephone numbers to be called in case of emergency
problems at the construction or maintenance site prior to the start
of any work. If, for any reason, emergency contact must be made, or
if the emergency contact person does not respond to a call from the
Police Department to correct such hazardous condition, the Borough
may respond to correct the hazardous condition(s). The reasonable
fees for such emergency services by the Borough shall be charged to
the person, contractor, or utility responsible for the condition.
D.
Hours.
There shall be no construction, maintenance, operations, or
utility work on any roadway in the Borough before the hour of 9:00
a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. The officer in charge of the Police Department
may adjust this time limit to permit work prior to 9:00 a.m. or after
4:00 p.m. If the officer in charge determines that the construction
or maintenance operations prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. would
substantially delay traffic or cause a safety or health hazard, the
work shall then be permitted only between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
E.
Road closing.
Road closing and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted unless
approved by the Police Department.
F.
Traffic directors.
Traffic directors shall be posted at all construction or maintenance
sites when determined by the Police Department that same is necessary
to provide for the safe and expeditious movement of traffic.
G.
Stop work.
The Police Department shall have the authority to stop work,
including the removal of equipment and vehicles, stored material within
the street right-of-way, back filling of open excavations and/or related
work, in order to abate any nuisance and/or safety hazard or for any
violation of this section.
H.
Site preparation.
It is to be expressly understood that no materials, vehicles
or equipment are to be placed in the roadway or sidewalk or until
all construction, signs, light devices and pavement markings are installed.
I.
Violations and penalties.
Any person, contractor or utility who commits a violation of
this section shall, upon conviction thereof for a first offense, pay
a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500 and/or be imprisoned
in the County Jail for a term not exceeding 90 days. For a second
offense, upon conviction thereof, pay a fine of not less than $250
and/or be imprisoned in the County Jail for a term not exceeding 90
days.
A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during
or on which violation occurs or continues.
[New]
Any vehicle parked in violation of this chapter shall be deemed
a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic,
and any Police Office may provide for the removal of such vehicle.
The owner shall bear the reasonable costs of removal and storage,
which may result from such removal before regaining possession of
the vehicle.
