Summary
Once snow covers Woodbridge streets, an automatic parking emergency exists and vehicles must stay off designated streets until plowing clears them enough for normal traffic flow, on penalty of towing and fines.
Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the streets and highways, an emergency shall exist and no vehicle shall be parked on the streets or highways or portions thereof indicated. 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.... Unless another penalty is expressly provided by New Jersey statute, every person convicted of a violation or provision of this section or any supplement thereto shall be liable to a penalty of not more than fifty ($50.00) dollars or imprisonment for a term not exceeding fifteen (15) days, or both.
Full Breakdown
1(a) declares that whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation covers the streets and highways, an emergency exists and no vehicle may park on the streets, highways or portions listed in the Township's snow-route schedule, which runs to dozens of named streets such as Aborn Avenue, Amherst Avenue and Avenel Street, each marked for both sides or a specific segment. The parking prohibition does not simply lift when snowfall stops; it remains in effect until the streets have been plowed sufficiently that parked cars would no longer interfere with the normal flow of traffic.
15 before reclaiming the vehicle, on top of any fine. 1(c). This snow-route ban is distinct from the separate general emergency no-parking authority in § 7-9, which lets the Police Director or Chief of Police post EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs for weather, accidents, construction, fire, or public celebrations more broadly.
Violations & Fines
Unless a different penalty applies under state statute, § 7-10.1(d) sets the fine for violating the snow parking ban at not more than $50, or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or both. That penalty is on top of the towing and storage costs the owner owes under § 7-10.1(b) before getting the vehicle back.
