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, 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 streets or sections of 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, fires and public celebrations dictate or require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification that the 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. 
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this section 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 removal and storage which may result from such removal before regaining possession of the vehicle.
C. 
The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon the signs being erected as required by law.

Any person may apply to the Police Department of the Borough of Franklin Lakes for an exception to the provisions of Subsection B hereof in the case of an emergency or for other good cause shown. Any person requesting an exception to the provisions of Subsection B hereof must request same for each and every night that the person would be in violation of this section.
