General regulations and prohibitions.
(1) 
It shall be unlawful for any person to cause, allow, permit or suffer any vehicle registered in their name to be parked in any parking space herein designated or to be hereafter designated in violation of the provisions of this subsection.
(2) 
It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle across any line or marking designating a parking space or to park any vehicle in any way that the same will not be wholly within a parking space as designated by the lines or markings.
(3) 
Enforcement. It shall be the duty of the members of the Bradley Beach Police Department to enforce the provisions of this section.
(4) 
Towing. In addition to any other penalty provided in this article, any vehicle which has been ticketed for a violation of this section, and which remains continuously in the same paid parking space for more than 24 hours, will be towed at the vehicle owner's expense.
Parking spaces in the designated parking zones controlled by the mobile parking application platform shall be marked by lines in the street, on the pavement or on the curb to indicate or set off the space within which a vehicle may be parked. It shall be unlawful to place or park a vehicle across or beyond any such parking line or beyond such parking mark.
A. 
Depositing funds required. When a vehicle is parked in any space designated as a parking space in accordance with the provisions of this section, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon placing such vehicle in such parking space, immediately deposit funds which are lawful in the United States of America, as designated on the mobile parking application platform, and in accordance with the time designated thereon. Failure to deposit funds shall constitute a breach of this section. Upon deposit of such funds, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period of parking time which has been prescribed for the parking space location. If such vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond the parking time fixed for such parking space, the app will indicate such illegal parking, and such vehicle shall be construed as parked overtime and beyond the period of legal parking time. The parking of vehicles overtime or beyond the period of legal parking time in any such parking space shall be in violation of this section and the owner of the illegally parked vehicle shall be penalized as set forth in this chapter.

A. 
Nothing contained herein shall be construed to permit parking of vehicles in those spaces or areas in which by any other ordinance the parking of vehicles is prohibited. This chapter shall be deemed to be in addition and supplementary to and not in conflict with nor a repeal of prior or existing Borough ordinances for the regulation and control of vehicular traffic and parking on the streets, highways and roads in the Borough but shall be an additional provision for the regulation of traffic and parking in those zones and areas provided for herein.
B. 
No parking zones shall be installed in areas or places where parking is prohibited as set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:4-138.
It shall be the duty of officers and members of the Police Department and such other enforcement personnel as may be designated by the Mayor and Council to enforce the provisions of this chapter.
