[Ord. No. 2009-03, § I; Ord. No. 2018-23 § 4; Ord. No. 2019-7 § 2]
(a) 
Parking Meter Defined. As used in this Chapter, the words "parking meter" and "parking meters" shall refer to any mechanical or electronic device used, placed, installed or erected at or near the curb adjacent to the parking lane, or otherwise on property which is owned, leased, operated by or otherwise under the control of the Municipality. "Parking meter" and "parking meters" shall also be deemed to include, but not be limited to, a single space meter, multi-space meters and pay stations as designated by the Municipality.
(b) 
The Mayor and Council shall cause parking meters to be installed in the metered parking areas established and designated in this chapter. Parking meter areas have been established and described in Sections 19-24 and 19-25 of this Chapter.
(c) 
No parking meters shall be installed in any areas where parking is prohibited by state law pursuant to N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 et seq., nor where parking is now or may hereafter be prohibited by appropriate action of the mayor and council.
(d) 
Parking meters shall be installed in all parking meter areas near the curb, sidewalk or other area adjacent to or near each parking space that they are intended to regulate.
(e) 
The Mayor and Council shall cause lines or markings to be placed upon the pavement in all parking meter areas upon the curb, sidewalk or other area immediately adjacent to or near each parking meter, for the purpose of designating the parking space(s) the respective meter regulates.
(f) 
The Mayor and Council shall cause proper signs to be installed in all metered parking areas, indicating the time limitations in such areas.
(g) 
Each parking meter shall, by proper legend, indicate the legal parking time and the proper dollar amount to be paid and acceptable payment method(s), including but not limited to payment by coins of the United States, credit card or mobile payment, as established in Section 19-32. Each parking meter shall, when operated in the proper manner, indicate on its face the duration of the period of legal parking time and, on the expiration of such period, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking. When payment is made by mobile payment, the duration of the period of legal parking shall be indicated on the mobile payment application.
(h) 
The operator of every vehicle parked within any designated metered parking areas shall, upon entering the respective parking space, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in the meter regulating the use of such space proper coins of the United States or make payment by credit card or mobile payment for use of such space in accordance with the schedules set forth in Section 19-32 of this Code. Such vehicle may remain parked in such space for only as long as the parking meter does not display an illegal or over-time signal, or the mobile payment app indicates an expired session or for a period of time not to exceed that of the respective area in which it is located, whichever is less. Such over-parked vehicle shall be issued additional summonses for each additional authorized time period which is overextended.
(i) 
Depositing slugs, etc. No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited any slug, device or substitute for a proper coin of the United States in any parking meter.

Meter Feeding. No person shall deposit or cause to be deposited in a meter any coin or coins, credit card payment or mobile payment for the purpose of extending the parking time beyond the total lawful parking time limit in accordance with the schedules set forth in section 19-32 of this Code. Such over-parked vehicle shall be issued additional summonses for each additional authorized time period which is overextended. This provision is directed at preventing what is commonly termed "meter feeding" and is enacted to provide for the convenience of legal "turn-over parking" within the municipality.
(l) 
Overtime Parking. No person shall re-park a vehicle on either side of the same street in the same block in order to extend the vehicle's parking time beyond the limits established in section 19-24. For purposes of this section, a vehicle shall be deemed "re-parked" and in violation hereof if a vehicle is parked in any space on the same street within two hours of expiration of the vehicle's original parking time.
(m)

Eligibility.
a. 
Bona fide residents of Princeton Borough who meet the following criteria are eligible to apply for an overnight parking permit to park on borough streets:

They reside in dwelling units that are located in the R1, R2, R3 and R4 districts. A dwelling unit for the purpose of this section shall be defined as a building, or entirely self-contained portion thereof, containing complete housekeeping facilities for only one family, including any domestic servants employed on the premises, and having no cooking, food preparation or sanitary facilities in common with other dwelling units and no common and closed space, other than vestibules, entrances, porches, laundry, heating and air conditioning rooms and equipment. This definition shall not include a boarding house, convalescent home, dormitory, fraternity, sorority house, hotel or similar home and other similar building or secondary residence. In addition, multi-family dwelling structures that contain 10 or more units are specifically excluded from this definition.
2. 
On-site parking on the premises of the applicant is physically impossible due either to physical restrictions of the property and/or restrictions imposed under borough ordinance.
3. 
The dwelling unit of the applicant is in compliance with all applicable local, county and state laws or ordinances and is not the subject of zoning approvals that require the owner to provide parking.
4. 
A resident of the dwelling unit which is located on state or county roads, private streets or streets of another municipality is not eligible for an overnight parking permit.
b. 
Exception.
1. 
Bona fide residents of the Princeton Borough Housing Authority's Hageman Homes Project shall be exempted from the eligibility requirements as set forth above for issuance of an overnight parking permit.

(a) 
Defined. The mayor and council of Princeton have determined that there is an acute problem providing for on-street parking in the neighborhood adjacent to the Princeton High School/Westminster Choir College primarily attributable to the parking of students in this area. The mayor and council have therefore determined that the greater public interest will be served by insuring convenient and reasonable access to homes, businesses, the High School and the Westminster Choir College in this neighborhood and that the following limitations on parking will promote such an interest. Although this ordinance will allow some limited permitted parking for students, the mayor and council strongly believe that all students should avail themselves of public transportation, bicycling, car pooling and other modes of transportation whenever possible.
