Street parking in Bergen County is governed mainly by each municipality and by NJ Title 39 motor vehicle law. On county roads, Bergen County may post no-parking zones and bus stops with NJDOT-approved traffic regulations.
Bergen County operates within a layered traffic-regulation framework. Under N.J.S.A. 39:4-197 et seq., municipalities adopt ordinances controlling parking on local streets. On county-owned roads, Bergen County designates parking and stopping restrictions through traffic resolutions filed with the New Jersey Department of Transportation. Statewide rules, including 25 feet from a crosswalk, 50 feet from a railroad crossing, and 10 feet from a fire hydrant under N.J.S.A. 39:4-138, apply on every street in the county. Posted signs on county roads control hours and durations.
Title 39 summonses with state-set fines, plus optional municipal court costs; tow and impound on signed no-parking zones.
