Summary

Cherry Hill Township triggers an automatic parking ban the moment snow covers its streets. Section 10-8.3a bars parking on the affected streets or highways starting one hour after continuous snowfall begins and running until twelve hours after the snow stops, or until plowing lets traffic flow normally again, whichever takes longer.

Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the streets or highways, an emergency shall exist and no vehicle shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions thereof indicated. The above parking prohibitions shall remain in effect commencing one (1) hour after snow has been continuously falling and ending twelve (12) hours after the snow has ceased, until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic. ... Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation shall be deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic and any Police Officer may provide for the removal of such vehicle. The owner shall pay the reasonable costs of the removal and storage which may result from such removal before gaining possession of the vehicle. ... Unless another penalty is expressly provided by New Jersey Statute, every person convicted of a violation of a provision of this chapter or any supplement thereto shall be liable to a penalty of not more than fifty ($50.00) dollars or imprisonment for a term not exceeding fifteen (15) days or both.

Full Breakdown

3a treats a snow accumulation that covers the streets as an emergency in itself, no separate declaration needed. The parking prohibition begins one hour after snow has been continuously falling and ends twelve hours after it has ceased, but only once the streets have been plowed enough that parked cars will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic, so in a heavy storm the ban can run well past twelve hours if plowing crews are still working a street. A vehicle left parked or standing in violation is deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe regulation of traffic, and any Police Officer may have it towed, with the owner covering the reasonable costs of removal and storage before getting the vehicle back from the impound lot.

3b lets the Chief of Police, or the ranking officer if the Chief is unavailable, declare a separate emergency and post temporary no-parking signs for up to thirty days when weather, accidents, fires or special events require keeping a street clear, with notice given to any vehicle already parked there before the signs go up. Chapter 10's general penalty clause, Section 10-4, sets the punishment for violating either provision unless a New Jersey statute already covers the same conduct.

Violations & Fines

Parking on a snow-covered street inside the Section 10-8.3a window lets any Police Officer have the vehicle towed as a nuisance, with the owner paying towing and storage costs before reclaiming it. Beyond towing, Section 10-4's general Chapter 10 penalty applies: a fine of not more than $50 or imprisonment of up to fifteen days, or both, unless a state statute sets a different punishment.
