Full Breakdown
Part 2 of Chapter 694, Vehicles and Traffic, adopted August 13, 1974 by Ordinance No. 937, sets Vineland's snow-emergency parking rules in Article XVII. Section 694-52 bars parking whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation covers the street or highway on eight listed streets or portions of them: Chestnut Avenue, Landis Avenue and Park Avenue between N.J. Route 47 and Main Road, East Avenue, East Boulevard, West Avenue and West Boulevard between Chestnut Avenue and Park Avenue, and the entire length of Elmer Street and Wood Street.
The prohibition does not lift the moment snow stops falling; § 694-52.B keeps it in effect until the streets have been plowed sufficiently and to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic. Beyond that standing list, § 694-53 lets the Chief of Police, or the ranking officer in the Chief's absence, declare an emergency and order temporary no-parking signs posted on any additional street when weather, accidents, fires or public celebrations create a hazard, with notice then required to any vehicle owner already parked before the signs went up.
Under § 694-54, any unoccupied vehicle left in violation of Part 2 is deemed a nuisance, and a peace officer may have it towed, with the owner covering removal and storage costs before the vehicle is released. Section 694-55 makes the whole Part 2 contingent on the required signs actually being erected.
Violations & Fines
Section 694-56 sets the penalty: unless a New Jersey statute provides otherwise, a conviction for violating Part 2's snow-emergency parking rules carries a fine of not more than $50 or imprisonment for up to 15 days, or both, imposed in Vineland Municipal Court. Vehicles left on the routes named in § 694-52 or on a street posted under a Chief of Police emergency declaration can also be towed under § 694-54 at the owner's expense.
