Overnight on-street parking is banned in many Somerset County municipalities by ordinance. Towns such as Bernardsville and Bound Brook prohibit parking on public streets during posted overnight hours year-round, with driveways the reliable option.
New Jersey sets no statewide overnight parking rule; Somerset County municipalities adopt them by ordinance under Title 39. Overnight on-street bans are common — many towns prohibit parking on public streets between roughly 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 or 6:00 a.m., either year-round or seasonally, to allow street maintenance and snow plowing. Some communities offer a limited number of overnight permits or temporary waivers by phone. During declared snow emergencies, additional streets are posted and cleared. Because street parking is so restricted, driveways and private lots are the dependable overnight choice across Bridgewater, Hillsborough, Franklin and their neighbors.
Overnight-ban violations bring municipal tickets, commonly $30 to $100, plus towing at the owner's expense during snow emergencies or when a vehicle blocks plowing.
