A. Findings; adoption of manual.
(1) The Township 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.
(2) The Township of Lopatcong, in the County of Warren,
State of New Jersey, does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways, hereafter known
as the "MUTCD," 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 MUTCD while
performing such work is in violation of this section.
(a)
Preconstruction meetings. It shall be the responsibility
of the person, contractor, or in the case of a public utility as required
under the public utility agreement, Section 16:25-9.2, wishing to
conduct work on, under or above the street to contact the Police Department
of the Township of Lopatcong in order to arrange a preconstruction
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 Township of Lopatcong, is in violation of this section.
(b)
Hazardous conditions. The person, contractor
or utility shall provide at least two emergency contact telephone
numbers to be called in cases of emergency problems at the construction
or maintenance site prior to the start of any work. If, for any reason,
emergency contact cannot be made, or if the emergency contact person
does not respond to a call from the Police Department to correct such
hazardous condition, the Township of Lopatcong may respond to correct
the hazardous condition(s). The reasonable fees for such emergency
services by the Township of Lopatcong shall be charged to the person,
contractor, or utility responsible for the condition.
(c)
Hours. 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 Township 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. to 4:00 p.m.
(d)
Road closing. Road closing and/or traffic detours
shall not be permitted unless approved by the Township Police Department.
(e)
Traffic directors. Traffic directors shall be
posted at all construction or maintenance sites when determined by
the Township Police Department that same is necessary to provide for
the safety and expeditious movement of traffic.
(f)
Stop work. The Township 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 excavation and/or other related work, in order to
abate any nuisance and/or safety hazard or for any violation of this
section.
(g)
Site preparation. It is to be expressly understood
that no materials, vehicle or equipment are to be placed in the roadway
or sidewalk until all construction signs, lights, devices and pavement
markings are installed.
B. Violations and penalties.
(1) Any person, contractor or utility who commits a violation
of this chapter 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.
(2) A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each
day during or on which violations occurs or continues.
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.
A. Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall
be no parking upon the streets where temporary emergency no-parking
signs are displayed. The Chief of Police or, in his 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. Removal.
(1) Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such
that it covers the streets and highways, an emergency shall exist
and no vehicle shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions
thereof indicated.
(2) The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect
after 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 parking 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. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and
storage which may result from such removal before regaining possession
of the vehicle.
