§ 238-5 Effect of ordinance.

§ 238-6 Repeal.

Adoption of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices for Streets and Highways.

When the Borough of Florham Park Council 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 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.

The Borough of Florham Park, in the County of Morris, State of New Jersey, does hereby adopt the current Manual on Uniform Control Devices of 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 who fails to comply with the provisions of the MUTCD while performing such work is in violation of this section.

Preconstruction meetings. It shall be the responsibility of the person, contractor, or in the case of the 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 Borough of Florham Park in order to arrange a preconstruction meeting in order to 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 those whose plans are not approved by the Police Department of the Borough of Florham Park is in violation of this section.

Hazardous conditions. The person, contractor or utility shall provide at least two emergency phone 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 be made, or if the emergency contact person does not respond to the call from the Police Department to correct such hazardous conditions, the Borough may respond to correct the hazardous condition(s). The reasonable fees for such emergency services by the Borough shall be charged to the person, contractor or utility responsible for the condition.

Hours. There shall be no construction, maintenance operations or utility work on any roadway in the Borough before the hour of 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. The time limit may be adjusted to permit work prior to 9:00 a.m. or after 4:00 p.m. by the officer in charge of the Township Police Department. If it is determined by the officer in charge 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. to 4:00 p.m.

Road closing. Road closing and/or traffic detours shall not be permitted unless approved by the Borough Police Department.

Traffic directors. Traffic directors shall be posted at all construction or maintenance sites when determined by the Borough Police Department that same is necessary to provide for the safety and expeditious movement of traffic.

Stop work. The Borough 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 other related work, in order to abate any nuisance and/or safety hazard or for any other violation of this section.

Site preparation. It is to be expressly understood that no materials, vehicles or equipment are to be placed in the roadway or sidewalk until all construction signs, light devices and pavement markings are installed.

Violations and penalties.

Any person, contractor or utility who commits a violation of this section shall, upon conviction thereof for the first offense, pay the 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 no less then $250 and/or be imprisoned in the county jail for the term not exceeding 90 days.

A separate offense shall be deemed committed on each day during or on which violation occurs or continues.

§ 238-8 Parking regulations not exclusive.

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.

§ 238-9 Parking prohibited during state of emergency.

Upon declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon the 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, 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.

The effectiveness of this section is contingent upon the signs being erected as required by law.

§ 238-10 Temporary parking prohibition for snowplowing and removal.

Removal.

Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers 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.

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 cost of the removal and storage which may result from such removal before regaining possession of the vehicle.
