the time they are rendering services or repairs within the area.
Whenever the Chief of Police, or his/her designee, shall determine that
certain streets exclusively or primarily serving residential land uses, or
portions of such streets, are being used for parking by the operators of vehicles
who do not reside on such streets, as disclosed by a traffic study, then the
Chief of Police, or his/her designee, may recommend to the Mayor and Township
Council that such street or streets be included within the provisions of this
