Full Breakdown

Article 4, Section 10(E) sets the weight test: no motor vehicles with a registered gross vehicle weight of more than 6,000 pounds shall be permitted to park on any paved parking lot on Camden County park lands. The regulation never uses the word commercial. The trigger is registered gross vehicle weight, so the figure on the vehicle's registration decides whether the sentence reaches it, and the sentence covers motor vehicles without distinguishing commercial from private use.

The restriction names paved parking lots. Section 10(D) separately bars motor vehicles from the grassy areas within Camden County park land without prior written approval from the Director. Section 10(B) confines the parking or storage of any motor vehicle, wagon, cart, or trailer to areas designated and posted for that purpose, and those areas are for the use of park patrons only. Section 10(C) adds that the repairing of vehicles is not permitted within county park lands. The first sentence of 10(E) contains no permit or waiver language, and the only exemption in Section 10 covers the vehicles and apparatus of a Fire Department, Police Department, or ambulance when responding to an emergency.

Article 1 defines Vehicles as any motorized conveyance, and Article 2, Section 1 applies the regulations across all parks and park lands of the Camden County Park System. Enforcement runs through the Schedule of Fines in Article 6, Section 2, where item 4-10(F), Vehicle over 6000 lbs. GVW parked on lot, carries $50.00. The opening of Section 10 adds that the County can tow any vehicle parked in violation and charge the violator all applicable towing and storage fees. The second sentence of 10(E) is a separate rule on off-road vehicles and snowmobiles, allowed only at times and places designated by the Director or authorized by permit; the Schedule prices that offense at item 4-10(G), $100.00.

Violations & Fines

Parking a vehicle with a registered gross vehicle weight over 6,000 pounds on a paved park lot is a $50.00 offense under Schedule item 4-10(F). The County can also tow the vehicle and charge the violator towing and storage fees. Under Article 6, Section 1, a person found guilty by a Municipal Court Judge is subject to a fine, imprisonment not to exceed ninety (90) days, or both, and each day a violation occurs or continues is a separate offense. Violators can also be directed to leave the park.
