[Ord. No. 426-1999 § 1]
When the Borough Committee 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 Woodbine in the County of Cape May, 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.
[Ord. No. 426-1999 § 1]
It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or
in the case of a public utility as required under the public utility
agreement, subsection 16:25-9.2, wishing to conduct work on, under
or above the street to contact the police department of the Borough
of Woodbine. In order to arrange a pre-construction meeting in order
to 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
Woodbine is in violation of this section.
[Ord. No. 426-1999 § 1]
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 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 of Woodbine
may respond to correct the hazardous condition(s). The reasonable
fees for such emergency services by the Borough of Woodbine shall
be charged to the person, contractor or utility responsible for the
condition.
[New; Ord. No. 426-1999 § 1]
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.
[Ord. No. 145; New; Ord. No. 426-1999 § 1]
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.
[Ord. No. 145; New; Ord. No. 426-1999 § 1]

the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed sufficiently
and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the 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 officer may provide for the removal of such vehicle.
