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

Section 10.16.090 of the New Brunswick Municipal Code sets the snow rule. It applies whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the street or highway. From that point no vehicle is parked on the main traveled or major roadways described in Schedule 32, which the code titles No Parking, Emergency Streets. The code prints no inch-depth trigger: the test is whether snow covers the roadway. The prohibition does not end when the snow stops. It remains 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.

Schedule 32 names the routes. Albany Street, Church Street, Elm Row, Hamilton Street, Livingston Avenue and Paul Robeson Boulevard are listed for their entire length. Easton Avenue is covered from Albany Street to Huntington Street, George Street from Hamilton Street to Paul Robeson Boulevard, and Neilson Street from Albany Street to Paul Robeson Boulevard. Streets that do not appear in the schedule are outside the § 10.16.090 snow ban.

Section 10.16.100 adds a second tool that reaches any street. Upon the declaration of an emergency, there is no parking wherever temporary emergency no parking signs are displayed. The chief of police, or in his or her absence the ranking police officer, declares the emergency and directs the posting of the signs when weather conditions, accidents, fire or public celebrations require the avoidance of hazards or other conditions that interfere with the free flow of traffic. Notification that the signs are being or will be posted is given to the operator or owner of any vehicle already parked there. Section 10.16.120 makes the effectiveness of the chapter contingent on signs being erected as required by law. Under § 10.16.080 the police department, the Rutgers campus patrol and parking enforcement officers all have the concurrent right to enforce the parking rules.
