Stafford Township, NJ Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Overnight limits in Chapter 201 (Vehicles and Traffic) come from two places.

The first is Schedule IIA. Section 201-4.1, added by Ord. No. 2007-96, prohibits parking between the hours listed in Schedule IIA on any day, including Sundays and public holidays, and § 201-21.1 lists the streets. The schedule's entry is Beacon Avenue, both sides, 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., for its entire length. Because § 201-4.1 carries no Sunday or holiday exception, it applies on those days too. That sets it apart from § 201-4, which applies Schedule II hours only on days other than Sundays and public holidays. Schedule II entries are daytime school-hour limits, such as Cedar Bridge Road from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and Buccaneer Lane and Voyager Lane from 8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

The second is the heavy-vehicle rule. Section 201-7A prohibits any person, firm or corporation from parking a truck, tractor, trailer or omnibus weighing more than 12,000 pounds on any street in a nonresidential zone in Stafford Township between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., prevailing time, on any day. Self-propelled recreational vehicles are excluded. Section 201-7E preserves deliveries of merchandise or other property to premises on the street, parking by a public utility company in connection with the construction, installation, operation and maintenance of public utilities, and vehicles attending to an emergency. Section 201-7F requires reflectorized signs at the entrance streets to the Township, red letters on a white background, reading COMMERCIAL TRUCKS AND BUSES with a second plate reading NO PARKING ANY STREET 9 p.m.--6 a.m. Under § 201-7G, the vehicle classes are defined by New Jersey law, N.J.S.A. 39:1-1.
