[New]
The Governing Body hereby finds and declares that problems of
traffic control occur and traffic must be moved through or around
street construction, maintenance operations, and utility work, above
and below ground which requires blocking the roadway 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 safety and expeditious
movement of traffic through construction and maintenance zones and
to provide safety for the work force performing these operations.
The Township of Sparta, in the County of Sussex, State of New
Jersey, does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices hereafter known as M.U.T.C.D., except as hereby supplemented
and amended, as it controls and regulates whenever construction maintenance
operations of utility work obstructs the normal flow of traffic. Any
person, contractor, or utility, who fails to comply with the provisions
of M.U.T.C.D. while performing such work is in violation of this section.
[New]
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or
in the case of a public utility agreement, wishing to conduct work
on, under or above the roadway to contact the Police Department in
order to arrange a pre-construction meeting in order to submit plans
for the safe movement of traffic during such period of construction
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.
[New]
The person, contractor, or utility shall provide the Police
Department with at least two emergency contact phone 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
cannot be reached, or if the emergency contact person does not respond
to the call from the Police Department to correct a hazardous condition,
the Township may respond to correct such hazardous condition. The
reasonable fees for such emergency service by the Township shall be
charged to the person, contractor, or utility for such condition.
[New]
There shall be no construction, maintenance operations, or utility
work on any roadway in the Township before the hour of 9:00 a.m. or
after 4:00 p.m. This time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior
to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. by the officer in charge of the Police
Department. If it is determined by the officer in charge 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.
[New]
Road closing and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted unless
approved by the Police Department.
[New]
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 safety and expeditious movement of traffic.
[New]
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 other
related work, in order to abate any nuisance and/or safety hazard
or for any violation of this section.
[New]
It is to be expressly understood that no materials, vehicle
or equipment are to be placed in the roadway or sidewalk or until
all construction, signs, lights, devices and pavement markings are
installed.
[New]
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 a violation occurs or continues.
[New]
All ordinances or parts of ordinances which are inconsistent
with the provisions of this section are hereby repealed to the extent
of any such inconsistency.
[New]
This section shall take effect after approval by the Commissioner
of Transportation 20 days after passage and publication as prescribed
by law.
[1978 Code § 7-3.5; Ord. No. 09-18 § 1]

a. The Sparta Township Police Department will not be responsible for
any charges due or owing to towing contractors except for the towing
of Township vehicles, nor will it assist the towing contractors in
collecting any charges. Specifically, the Township will not be responsible
to reimburse towing contractors for towing services in connection
with towing of vehicles which are abandoned or disabled, or from which
towing contractors are unable to obtain towing service fees from vehicle
owners. However, the Township will make good faith efforts to auction
abandoned vehicles and other vehicles for which towing contractors
have not received payment for services under any agreement consistent
with appropriate state law. In the event that an auction occurs on
such vehicles and money is received, the towing contractors shall
be paid their towing fee for such vehicles from the proceeds of the
auction, provided that the amount received at auction is equal to
or greater than the towing fees due. If that is not the case, towing
contractors shall receive the auction proceeds and Sparta Township
shall have no obligation to pay towing contractors any difference
due in accordance with N.J.S.A. 39:10A-5.
b. In cases where the Sparta Township Police Department mistakenly directed
that a vehicle be towed or has acted on incorrect information furnished
by other official sources, the towing contractor may be reimbursed
by Sparta Township for minimum towing fees only, as stipulated by
New Jersey statutes.
c. In the event the Police Department requires a vehicle involved in
a crime or a fatal accident to be held for investigation, the Chief
of Police may, after review of all the circumstances, require waiver
of storage fees, or a portion thereof, incurred up to the date of
release.

during which the facility will be open on Saturdays. The tow contractor
is not required to be open to the public on Sundays.

of the storage area.

In all dealings with the public in connection with an agreement,
representatives of the towing contractor are expected to act in a
professional manner at all times and be courteous and respectful to
members of the public. While members of the public, especially those
whose vehicles may have been towed or impounded, may at times resort
to strong language, threats or unbecoming behavior that may be directed
to the representatives of the towing contractors, such towing contractor
representatives are expected to exercise restraint and shall not respond
in kind, thereby causing an unfavorable reflection on their business.
If such instances occur, the Sparta Township Police Department should
be contacted to keep the peace and provide advice on legal proceedings,
if requested.

or action brought against the Township and arising out of the operation
of any towing, garage or repair services under any agreement. Said

vehicle of the month that they are called out to and requires a need

Trail or alternate municipal storage location as may be designated.
(This does not include large vehicles, with multiple axles.) The same
storage rates will apply for the Township storage facility as apply
to private towing hauler storage facilities.
