East Brunswick, NJ Parking Rules: Snow Removal Parking Rules (2026)

Article IX of Chapter 209, Emergency No Parking, runs from § 209-31 to § 209-34.1. Section 209-31, amended 11-24-03 by Ord. No. 03-40 and 12-9-2024 by Ord. No. 24-45, is automatic: whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the roadway, no vehicle can be parked on any street, avenue, highway or portion thereof in the Township of East Brunswick. Each violation is subject to a fine in the amount of $100. The prohibition stays in effect 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.

Section 209-32 adds a second trigger. On the declaration of an emergency, no one can park on streets or sections of streets where temporary emergency no-parking signs are displayed. The Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking police officer can declare the emergency and direct the signs when weather conditions, accidents, fires or public celebrations call for avoiding hazards or conditions that interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification that the signs are being or will be posted must be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle parked before the posting.

Section 209-33 treats an unoccupied vehicle parked in violation as a nuisance and a menace, lets any peace officer remove it by towing or other reasonable means, and requires the owner to pay all costs of removal, storage and other removal costs before getting it back. Section 209-34 makes the article contingent on signs being erected as required by law. Article IX prints no alternate-side schedule and no fixed list of snow emergency routes.

Sidewalks run on a different clock: § 189-1 requires abutting owners to clear snow within twelve hours of daylight, and § 189-2 forbids pushing snow onto a street.
