Full Breakdown

Section 620-45, in Chapter 620's Article XIII, sets out several overlapping overnight bans. Subsection B flatly prohibits overnight parking of commercial vehicles, a term the section defines to include any vehicle registered as commercial, contractor or bus, plus any vehicle carrying advertising for a business or otherwise used commercially even if not registered that way. Subsection C separately bars tractor cabs, trailers incapable of moving under their own power, pickup trucks or vans with commercial markings, and buses, jitneys or taxicabs from parking overnight on any public street.

Violations & Fines

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I park a work truck in my own driveway overnight in Irvington?
Not if it is a commercial truck, tractor, trailer or omnibus and it sits outside. Section 620-45(I) makes it unlawful to park such vehicles in a residential driveway unless they are inside an attached or detached garage; the same $150 daily fine applies as for the street-parking violations.
What hours does Irvington's overnight parking ban for RVs cover?
Section 620-45(J) bars parking a recreational vehicle, motor home, trailer or camper on any municipal street between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and the Township posts signs at its limits to notify drivers entering town of the restriction.
Is there any way to legally park a commercial vehicle overnight on an Irvington street?
Only narrow exceptions apply: Section 620-45(E) allows parking while actively doing business with a resident of that street, and public-utility vehicles doing utility work are exempt. Separately, Section 620-46 lets a resident get a $250 annual permit for one taxicab with commercial markings on their own street.
How much is the fine for overnight commercial parking in Irvington?
Section 620-45(G) sets a $150 fine per violation, and each day the violation continues counts as a separate offense, so the fine compounds daily until the vehicle is moved. The vehicle can also be towed after a summons is issued, at the owner's cost.
