prior to the taking effect of this chapter.
A. Adoption of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control
Devices for Streets and Highways.
(1) The Township of West Amwell Committee finds and declares
that problems of traffic control occur when traffic must be moved
through or around street construction, maintenance operations and
utility work, above or below the ground, which requires blocking the
street and obstructing the normal flow of traffic; and that such obstructions
are or can become dangerous when not properly controlled. In order
to better promote the public health, safety, peace and welfare, it
is necessary to establish controls and regulations directed to the
safe and expeditious movement of traffic through and around construction
and maintenance zones and to provide safety for the work forces performing
these operations.
(2) The Township of West Amwell, in the County of Hunterdon,
State of New Jersey, does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform
Control Devices for Streets and Highways, hereafter known as the "MUTCD,"
except as hereby supplemented and amended, as it controls and regulates
whenever construction, maintenance operations or utility work obstructs
the normal flow of traffic. Any person, contractor or utility that
fails to comply with the provisions of the MUTCD while performing
such work is in violation of this section.
B. Preconstruction meeting. It shall be the responsibility
of the person, contractor or, in the case of a public utility, as
required under the public utility agreement, Section 16:25-9.2, wishing
to conduct work on, under or above the street to contact the Police
Department of the Township of West Amwell in order to arrange a preconstruction
meeting and submit plans for the safe movement of traffic during such
period of construction or work. Any person, contractor or utility
who fails to comply with this section prior to the start of such work,
or whose plans are not approved by the Police Department of the Township
of West Amwell, is in violation of this section.
C. Emergency contact telephone numbers. The person, contractor
or utility shall provide at least two emergency contact telephone
numbers to be called in case of emergency problems at the construction
or maintenance site prior to the start of any work. If, for any reason,
emergency contact must be made, or if the emergency contact person
does not respond to a call from the Police Department to correct such
hazardous condition, the Township of West Amwell may respond to correct
the hazardous condition(s).
D. Hours. There shall be no construction, maintenance
operations, or utility work on any roadway in the Township before
the hour of 9:00 am. or after 4:00 p.m. The Officer in Charge of the
Township Police Department may adjust this time limit to permit work
prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. If the Officer in Charge determines
that the construction or maintenance operations prior to 9:00 a.m.
or after 4:00 p.m. would substantially delay traffic or cause a safety
or health hazard, the work shall then be permitted only between 9:00
a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
E. Road closing. Road closing and/or traffic detours
shall not be permitted unless approved by the Township Police Department.
F. Traffic directors. Traffic directors shall be posted
at all construction or maintenance sites when determined by the Township
Police Department that same are necessary to provide for the safe
and expeditious movement of traffic.
G. Stop work. The Township Police Department shall have
the authority to stop work, including the removal of equipment and
vehicles, stored material within the street right-of-way, backfilling
of open excavations and/or related work, in order to abate any nuisance
and/or safety hazard or for any violation of this section.
H. Site preparation. It is to be expressly understood
that no materials, vehicles or equipment are to be placed in the roadway
or sidewalk or until all construction, signs, light devices and pavement
markings are installed.
I. Violations and penalties.
(1) Any person, contractor or utility who commits a violation
of this section shall, upon conviction thereof for a first offense,
pay a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500 and/or be imprisoned
in the county jail for a term not exceeding 90 days; for a second
offense, upon conviction thereof, pay a fine of not less that $250
and/or be imprisoned in the county jail for a term not exceeding 90
days.
(2) A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each
day during or on which violation occurs or continues.
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
or 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 the streets where temporary EMERGENCY NO PARKING
signs are displayed. The Police Officer in Charge 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, road construction, fire or public celebrations dictate
or require avoidance of hazards or other conditions which interfere
with the free flow of traffic. Notification that 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. The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon
the signs being erected as required by law.
A. Removal.
(1) Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such
that it covers the streets and highways, an emergency shall exist
and no vehicle shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions
thereof indicated. The above parking prohibitions shall remain in
effect after the snow has ceased until the streets have been plowed
sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with
the normal flow of traffic.
(2) Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation
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 the removal and
storage, which may result from such removal before regaining possession
of the vehicle.
