Commercial vehicle parking on residential streets is regulated by each Bergen County municipality, not by the county. State weight and idling limits apply countywide, including N.J.A.C. 7:27-14 anti-idling and Title 39 weight restrictions on county roads.
Bergen County does not impose a general commercial vehicle residential parking ban. Each of its 70 municipalities adopts a local ordinance restricting overnight or extended parking of trucks, trailers, and commercial-plated vehicles on residential streets, often by gross vehicle weight or by length. On county roads and at county facilities, drivers must comply with NJDEP's anti-idling rule (N.J.A.C. 7:27-14) limiting most diesel idling to three minutes, and with weight-restricted route signage posted by Bergen County Public Works.
Local parking summonses with municipal fines; idling violations carry NJDEP penalties; overweight trucks face Title 39 fines and removal from restricted routes.
