Lawful parking on premises owned, leased or operated by the Parking Authority of the Township of West Windsor shall be allowed in accordance with the regulations prescribed herein.
A. 
Parking shall be permitted only in those areas designated for parking by appropriate lines identifying the spaces and/or within a designated space or stall. Parking shall be prohibited in all other areas.
B. 
Parking shall require either an unexpired permit, decal or other type of marking duly issued by the Parking Authority or payment of a daily fee as prescribed by the West Windsor Parking Authority through local ordinance.
[Amended 6-26-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-24]
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
LICENSE PLATE RECOGNITION (LRP)
Scanning device used by authorized parking enforcement officers to read license plates on vehicles that are parked on premises owned and/or managed by the West Windsor Parking Authority. A database of information is created based on the information provided by parking customers when registering vehicles, and LPR allows enforcement officers to quickly identify unauthorized and/or unregistered vehicles on these premises.
PERMIT PARKING
The West Windsor Parking Authority has completely phased out window decals and is in the process of phasing out all mirror hang-tag permits. Instead the WWPA will rely upon a customer's registration of his or her vehicle, including license plate number and other identifiers. Parking enforcement officers shall use LPR scanning to determine whether cars parked in "permit parking only" areas are authorized and registered to do so.
[Amended 4-19-1999 by Ord. No. 99-07; 10-29-2012 by Ord. No. 2012-18]
