Suitable signs, not less than 18 inches by 24 inches, and not more than 24 inches by 30 inches, bearing the words "No Parking-Chapter 347 of the Franklin Lakes Code Strictly Enforced," together with any qualifications or restrictions of such parking, if any, and conspicuously displayed, shall be posted on the lands by the owner, occupant, lessee or licensee thereof where the terms of this article are sought to be made effective. The defacing, tampering with or damaging of such signs, when posted, shall constitute a violation of this article.
Where no-parking signs have been posted, pursuant to the provisions of § 347-10 hereof, along any driveway or passageway on public school property for the ingress and egress of vehicles and there is also posted on the same stations as the no-parking sign a tow-away sign, as hereinafter described, any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this article shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic on such driveway or passageway, and any peace officer may provide for the removal of such vehicle. The owner of the vehicle shall pay the reasonable costs incurred by the removal and storage of the vehicle before regaining possession of same.

Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in this zone shall be deemed to be a parked vehicle in violation of § 347-9 of this chapter.
One-way signs shall be either arrow-shaped, 30 inches long and four, five or six inches wide, with the words "One-Way" written on the face of the arrow in four-inch letters; or a rectangular plate, 36 inches long and not more than 18 inches wide, with a white arrow painted on a black background using black letters on the arrow indicating "One-Way."

The letters shall be red and shall have a white reflectorized background. These markings shall be placed at the beginning and end of any tow-away zone and posted on all no-parking signs in said zone. These signs may state "Beginning Tow-Away Zone" and "End Tow-Away Zone" at the beginning and end of such zone.
