Street parking across Somerset County is regulated by municipal ordinance under Title 39. State law N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 bars parking on a crosswalk and within 10 feet of a fire hydrant everywhere, and many towns add overnight bans.
New Jersey's Title 39 sets the baseline for on-street parking, and municipalities adopt local restrictions under it. N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 prohibits standing or parking on a crosswalk, within 25 feet of the nearest crosswalk, within 10 feet of a fire hydrant, and near fire-station driveways, in every Somerset County town. On top of that, Bridgewater, Franklin, Hillsborough, and others post time limits, permit zones, and overnight parking bans by ordinance. Rules become enforceable once properly signposted or published. Blocking a driveway or hydrant draws a ticket regardless of local signage.
Fire-hydrant and crosswalk violations under N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 carry state and municipal fines, commonly around $54 or more, plus towing. Overnight-ban and time-limit violations bring separate municipal tickets.
