Monroe Township (Middlesex County), NJ Parking Rules: Snow Removal Parking Rules (2026)

Article VIII of Chapter 122 (Vehicles and Traffic), titled Emergency No Parking, covers snow in § 122-21. The trigger is physical, not announced: whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation covers the street or highway, no vehicle shall be parked on either side of any of the streets or parts thereof in the Township. Subsection B keeps the prohibition running after the snow ceases, until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic. The text sets no depth in inches and names no end time, so the end point is the condition of the plowed street.

Section 122-22 adds a separate declared emergency. The Chief of Police or, in his absence, the ranking police officer is authorized to declare an emergency and direct the posting of temporary emergency no-parking signs when weather conditions, accidents, fires or public celebrations require avoiding hazards that interfere with the free flow of traffic. Where those signs are displayed, there is no parking. Notification that the signs are being or will be posted must be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle already parked before the signs went up.

Section 122-23 covers removal. Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of the article is deemed a nuisance and a menace to the safe and proper regulation of traffic, and any peace officer can provide for its removal. The owner must pay the reasonable costs of removal and storage before regaining possession. Section 122-24 states that the article's effectiveness is contingent on signs being erected as required by law.
