Full Breakdown
Bayonne City Code § 7-29 designates a schedule of specific street segments as Loading Zones and provides that no person may park a vehicle in those locations during the posted times except to load or unload goods and materials. The schedule sets separate hours for each location: for example, a stretch of West 17th Street near Broadway runs Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., a segment of 29th Street between Kennedy Boulevard and Avenue A runs weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. and weekends 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and a Broadway location near 47th Street operates as a loading zone weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Other listed zones cover 22nd Street on Sundays only, Avenue C on Wednesday and Friday evenings plus all day Sunday, Gertrude Street daily from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and a West 38th Street segment that functions as a school drop-off and pick-up zone for handicapped students while school is in session. Each entry in the schedule is tied to individually enacted ordinances, several added or amended as recently as 2024 and 2025, so the exact block, side of street and hours vary and must be checked against the posted signs and the current schedule rather than assumed from a nearby block.
Violations & Fines
Parking in a posted loading zone outside its designated loading-or-unloading purpose is enforced by the Bayonne Police Department and Parking Utility as a parking violation subject to citation and towing under the City's general traffic enforcement provisions; the specific fine follows the schedule set for parking violations generally under Chapter 7 rather than a separate loading-zone penalty.
