Full Breakdown
Article III of Chapter 254 of the Bloomfield Township Code, titled Parking, Standing and Stopping, works through schedules that the Township Council attaches to the chapter. Section 254-18 bars parking at any time on the streets or parts of streets in Schedule XIV (§ 254-54). Section 254-19 goes further and bars stopping or standing on the streets in Schedule XV (§ 254-55). Section 254-21 bars stopping or standing during the times set in Schedule XVII (§ 254-57), and § 254-20(A) bars parking between the hours specified in Schedule XVI (§ 254-56).
Section 254-22 sets time limits: no person can park longer than the limit shown in Schedule XVIII (§ 254-58) at any time between the hours listed there, unless otherwise indicated. Section 254-23 covers angle parking: on the streets in Schedule XIX (§ 254-59), a vehicle must be parked at the angle designated and only within the painted white stall lines.
Section 254-17 states that the time limits in the article do not relieve any person of the duty to observe other and more restrictive provisions prohibiting or limiting stopping, standing or parking set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:4-138, any other New Jersey statute or the Code. Section 254-1 borrows word meanings from Subtitle 1 of Title 39 of the New Jersey Statutes Annotated.
Two related rules are found elsewhere. In metered zones, § 254-36(C) makes it unlawful to park across any line or marking of a parking meter space or so that the vehicle is not entirely within the area designated by lines, markings or signage. In Chapter 393, residential permit parking under § 393-15 applies on designated streets between 2:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m., and the vehicle must display a current residential parking permit on its left rear window unless an exemption applies.
Violations & Fines
Section 254-3 sets the penalty for Chapter 254: unless another penalty is expressly provided by New Jersey statute, every person convicted of violating a provision of the chapter is liable to a penalty of not more than $100 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or both. Residential permit violations under § 393-15(D) are punished by a fine not exceeding $50, and a separate offense is committed on each day a violation occurs or continues.
