Fort Lee Borough restricts overnight parking of commercial vehicles, trucks over a specified weight, and vehicles with commercial signage in residential zones to protect neighborhood character.
The Fort Lee Borough Code prohibits the parking or storage of commercial vehicles exceeding a specified gross vehicle weight, generally trucks over 8,000 to 10,000 pounds, on residential streets or in residential driveways overnight. Vehicles with commercial lettering, ladders, racks, or trailers used for business purposes are also restricted. Limited exceptions exist for vehicles actively engaged in service calls, deliveries, or loading. Permitted commercial parking is allowed in zoned business and industrial districts subject to lot and screening requirements.
Fines range from $100 to $500 per occurrence, with repeat violations potentially leading to vehicle towing at the owner's expense.
