Summary

In the City of Vineland, § 694-52 bans parking on eight named streets, including Landis Avenue, Elmer Street and Wood Street, whenever snowfall covers the roadway, and the ban stays in force under § 694-52.B until crews have plowed the street enough that parking no longer interferes with the normal flow of traffic.

§ 694-52. Designation of no-parking areas. ... Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the street or highway, no vehicle shall be parked on the following streets or highways or portions thereof: Name of Street Location ... Elmer Street Entire length ... The above parking prohibitions 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. § 694-53. Posting of signs; notification. ... Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon streets or sections of streets where temporary emergency no-parking signs are displayed. ... ... § 694-56. Violations and penalties. Unless another penalty is expressly provided by New Jersey statute, every person convicted of a violation of a provision of this Part 2 or any supplement thereto shall be liable to a penalty of not more than $50 or imprisonment for a term not to exceed 15 days, or both.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Vineland streets always ban parking during snow?
Section 694-52 lists 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 full length of Elmer Street and Wood Street. Parking is barred on all of them whenever snow covers the roadway.
When can I park again after a Vineland snow ban?
Not simply when the snow stops falling. Section 694-52.B keeps the prohibition in effect until the streets have been plowed sufficiently that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic, so drivers should wait for plow crews to clear the route before returning.
Can Vineland declare a no-parking emergency on my street too?
Yes. Under § 694-53, the Chief of Police, or the ranking officer if the Chief is unavailable, can declare an emergency and order temporary no-parking signs posted on any street when weather, accidents, fires or public celebrations create a hazard, with notice going to any vehicle already parked there.
What happens to a car left on a Vineland snow route?
Section 694-54 treats an unoccupied vehicle left in violation as a nuisance that a peace officer can have towed. The owner must pay the reasonable cost of removal and storage before getting the vehicle back, on top of any court fine assessed under § 694-56.
