Summary
Whenever snow accumulation covers an Edison street, an automatic parking ban takes effect township-wide, no separate emergency declaration is needed, and it stays in place until the streets are plowed clear enough for normal traffic.
Whenever snow has fallen and accumulation is such that it covers the street or highway, an emergency shall exist and no vehicles shall be parked on public streets or highways within the boundaries of Edison Township. The parking prohibitions listed above shall remain 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.
b. Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this section 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 regaining possession of the vehicle.

Full Breakdown
Section 7-10 makes the parking ban automatic: once snow accumulation covers a street or highway, no vehicle may be parked on any public street or highway in the Township, and the prohibition continues after snowfall stops until plowing has cleared the roadway enough that parked cars won't interfere with traffic flow. An unoccupied vehicle left in violation is deemed a nuisance, and police may have it towed at the owner's expense. A separate section, § 7-9, lets police post 'Emergency No Parking' signs for other weather or hazard events.
Violations & Fines
Vehicles parked in violation during a snow event may be towed as a nuisance; the owner must pay removal and storage costs before reclaiming the vehicle.
