Wayne, NJ Parking Rules: Commercial & Oversized Vehicles (2026)

Subsection B of § 134-67.1 in the Wayne Township Code, part of Chapter 134 (Land Development), sets the overnight limit for commercial vehicles on residential property in Wayne Township, Passaic County. No more than one commercial vehicle, vehicle registered as a school bus, or limousine can be parked, stored or garaged overnight, and six conditions apply to it. Chapter 134 defines a commercial vehicle as a vehicle registered by law as a commercial vehicle, so the registration class decides whether the rule applies.

The weight cap comes first: commercial and other nonpassenger vehicles shall not exceed a gross vehicle weight rating of 15,000 lbs. Size is capped separately. Vehicles shall not exceed 84 inches in width or height, counting attachments and equipment, and shall not exceed 240 inches in length, counting attachments and equipment other than trailers. Ladder racks, plows and toolboxes count toward the width and height figures.

Ownership is tied to the household. Any commercial vehicle parked, stored or garaged in a residential zone shall be owned by and registered to the premises' occupant or his employer, which rules out a neighbor or a friend leaving a work truck on the lot. The outdoor parking area for the vehicle shall be improved with asphalt (alternatively known as bituminous concrete), paving stone, brick paver, concrete or similar surface.

One exception is printed: parking of construction equipment vehicles is allowed on a temporary basis when construction is taking place on the lot pursuant to a valid, open construction permit. Once the permit closes, the exception ends. Commercial trailers are also barred from any front-yard driveway under § 134-67.1(A)(1). The subsection carries amendment notes dated 2-15-2012 (Ord. No. 6-2012), 5-20-2020 (Ord. No. 17-2020) and 7-19-2023 (Ord. No. 31-2023).
