b. 
Any regulations promulgated by the Director of Public Safety and in accordance with Subsection a above, shall provide for the posting of proper warning signs of such closing on any street or portion thereof during the time the same is closed in pursuance thereof.
c. 
Any violation of this regulation promulgated there-under shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $50.

[1966 Code § 6-11; Ord. No. 1991-1 § 16; New; Ord. No. 2005-12 § I]
Unless another penalty is expressly provided by New Jersey Statute, otherwise regulated by a specific ordinance section, every person, firm or corporation convicted of a violation of a provision of this Chapter or any supplement thereto shall be liable to a penalty of $50 plus costs. Each and every day in which the violation exists shall constitute a separate violation.
[New]
If any part or parts of this Chapter are, for any reason, held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Chapter.
[New]
All former traffic ordinances of the Borough are hereby repealed, and all ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with or inconsistent with the provisions of this Chapter are hereby repealed, except that this repeal shall not affect or prevent the prosecution or punishment of any person for any act done or committed in violation of any ordinance hereby repealed prior to the taking effect of this Chapter.
[New]
The Governing Body 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 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 Belmar, in the County of Monmouth, State of New Jersey 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 who fails to comply with the provisions of the 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 as required under the public utility, wishing to conduct work on, under or above the street to contact the Police Department of the Borough in order to arrange a preconstruction 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 of the Borough of Belmar is in violation of this section.
[New]
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.
[New]
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 Borough Police Department may adjust this time limit 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. or after 4:00 p.m.
[New]
Road closings and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted unless approved by the Borough 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 safe 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, backfilling 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, the person, contractor or utility shall, 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.
[1966 Code § 6-4.1; Ord. No. 1991-1 § 16; New]
The provisions of this Chapter imposing a time limit on parking shall not relieve any person of the duty to observe other, more restrictive provisions prohibiting or limiting the stopping or standing or parking of vehicles as set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:4-138, any other New Jersey Statute or as hereinafter provided.
[1966 Code § 6-4.2; Ord. No. 1991-1 § 16]
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/her absence, the ranking Police Officer is authorized to declare an emergency and to direct the posting of EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs when weather conditions, accidents, road construction, fire or public celebrations dictate or require avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification that 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.
b. 
The effectiveness of this subsection is contingent upon the signs being erected as required by law.

a. 
Whenever snow is anticipated and the accumulation is such that it would cover the streets or highways, the Mayor may make a determination that no vehicle shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions thereof. Residents shall be given 12 hour notice of said determination by way of reverse 911 phone notification (e.g. Code Red) and posting on the Borough's web-site.
1. 
All vehicles shall be parked off-street in driveways or in other permissible off-street parking areas until both sides of the street have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with normal flow of traffic.
2. 
If there is insufficient driveway space or insufficient space in other permissible off street parking areas, then all vehicles shall be parked on the side of the street containing even numbered properties; then within 24 hours after the side of the street containing odd numbered properties has been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with normal flow of traffic, all vehicles shall be moved to the side of the street containing odd numbered properties until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with normal flow of traffic.
b. 
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic and any Police or Code Enforcement Officer may ticket that vehicle. In the event of a state of emergency declared by the Governor of the State of New Jersey and the Mayor of Belmar, 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.
c. 
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this section shall, upon conviction thereof, shall be subject to a penalty not to exceed $150. Each and every day in which the violation exists shall constitute a separate violation.
[1966 Code § 6-4.9; Ord. No. 1991-1 § 16; New]
