Full Breakdown

Article II of Vineland's Traffic Ordinance, adopted by Ordinance No. 939 and amended repeatedly since, sets overnight no-parking windows street by street rather than a single citywide curfew. Vineland City Code § 694-5 prohibits parking between the hours specified in Schedule II on any day except Sundays and public holidays, and § 694-31 codifies that schedule for named streets and street segments, each entry listing the affected side of the street, the exact time window, and the days it applies. On Almond Street, for instance, the north side is off-limits from 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m.

Monday through Wednesday, while the south side carries the same 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. window Thursday through Sunday; other Schedule II entries, such as Castpa Place, run overnight bans from 9:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. every day. Because the restriction is assigned street by street through periodic amending ordinances, the specific hours and days differ by block, and a driver must check the posted signs or the Schedule II listing for the exact street. Section 694-3 makes clear that these local time limits do not relieve a driver of the more general parking, stopping, and standing restrictions of state law under N.J.S.A.

39:4-138. Enforcement falls to the Vineland Police Department under the City's general traffic-ordinance authority, and § 694-29 separately allows police to have an unattended vehicle towed and stored when it is deemed a nuisance, with the owner paying removal costs before reclaiming the vehicle.

Violations & Fines

Parking on a street during the overnight window fixed for it in Schedule II is a violation of § 694-5, punishable under § 694-28(C) by a fine of not less than $20 nor more than $50, or imprisonment for up to fifteen days, or both, upon conviction. The restriction does not apply on Sundays or public holidays, and unattended vehicles found in violation may also be removed and stored at the owner's expense under § 694-29.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is overnight parking banned everywhere in Vineland?
No. Vineland City Code § 694-5 only bans parking on the specific streets and during the specific hours listed in Schedule II at § 694-31. Each street segment has its own window, commonly 2:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. on part of the week, so drivers need to check the posted signage or the Schedule II listing for their block rather than assume a single citywide curfew.
What is the fine for overnight parking violations?
Under § 694-28(C), a driver convicted of parking during a Schedule II no-parking window faces a fine of not less than $20 and not more than $50, or imprisonment for up to fifteen days, or both. The same section sets a flat $50 maximum fine for most other Part 1 parking violations.
Do the overnight restrictions apply on holidays?
No. Section 694-5 expressly excludes Sundays and public holidays from the hours-based parking prohibition, so a vehicle parked overnight on a restricted street on one of those days is not in violation of the Schedule II hours, though other restrictions such as posted no-parking-at-any-time zones under § 694-4 can still apply.
