Wayne, NJ Parking Rules: Overnight Parking (2026)

Section 200-5 of the Wayne Township Code holds two separate parking bans. Subsection A bars parking at any time on the streets listed in Schedule I (§ 200-29). Subsection B is the all-night rule: no one can park a vehicle between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m., except on the streets described in Subsection C of Schedule I. The section was amended 11-14-1977 by Ord. No. 101-1977.

Schedule I, Subsection C inverts the usual street-list approach. Instead of naming the streets where the ban applies, it names the streets where the overnight ban does not apply. The printed list is Atherton Court (both sides, from the intersection of Atherton Court and Valley Road up to the entrances and exits of Buildings 8 and 11), Byrne Court (west side), Knox Terrace (north side), Lancaster Court, Manchester Court, Old Newark Pompton Turnpike, Royal Court, Salisbury Road and Traphagen Road. For most of these entries the side and location columns print a dash. A street that is not on that list falls under the 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. ban.

The Subsection C list has its own amendment history in the Code: it was added 11-14-1977 by Ord. No. 101-1977 and amended 12-21-1977 by Ord. No. 141-1977, 5-20-1992 by Ord. No. 21-1992 and Ord. No. 42-2017. The Atherton Court entry carries Ord. No. 2-2019, and the Old Newark Pompton Turnpike entry carries Ord. No. 42-2017.

Section 200-6 is a separate rule. It bars parking between the hours specified in Schedule II (§ 200-30) on the streets described there, so hour-specific restrictions on individual streets sit beside the township-wide overnight rule. Section 200-4 adds that a posted time limit does not relieve anyone of more restrictive provisions in N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 or any other New Jersey statute. Privately owned semipublic places such as shopping and hospital lots are handled separately under § 200-10, where owners who send a written request get Title 39 traffic controls applied through Schedules VI, VIA and VII.
