Section 7-36 of the Township Code lists named loading zones street by street, giving the exact curb span, side of the street, and applicable hours for each. , Tuesday through Friday). Outside the posted hours or location, ordinary parking rules apply on those blocks. A. 39:4-138. #2015-71, and Ord. No. 2017-101), each of which added or revised individual street listings rather than rewriting the section as a whole, so the current table reflects layered amendments rather than a single enactment. Because the section defines these as loading zones rather than general parking spaces, any vehicle sitting there without actively loading or unloading goods and materials is out of compliance regardless of how briefly it is parked.

Violations & Fines

Section 7-36 bars parking in a designated loading zone for any purpose other than loading or unloading goods and materials during the posted hours. Vehicles found occupying the space outside that use, including private passenger cars left unattended, are subject to Township parking enforcement and ticketing under the general traffic chapter, with the vehicle also subject to towing if it blocks commercial deliveries.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park in a Woodbridge loading zone if I'm just running an errand?
No. Code § 7-36 limits use of designated loading zones to loading or unloading goods and materials during the posted times; parking for any other reason, even briefly, violates the ordinance and can draw a ticket.
Are all Woodbridge loading zones in effect 24 hours a day?
Not all of them. Most listed zones, like those on Main Street and New Brunswick Avenue, apply at all times, but some are time-limited, such as the Fulton Street zone (9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) and the West Woodbridge Avenue zone (10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Friday).
How short can a Woodbridge loading zone be?
Section 7-36 sets a floor of 50 feet as the minimum length for any loading zone the Township establishes, and no zone can be placed where state law already bars standing or parking under N.J.S.A. 39:4-138.
