Summary

In Camden County parks, the Director designates one-way streets and marks parking areas as restricted for particular persons or officials or to limited designated hours, and must post signs for each restriction. Driving the wrong way on a one-way park street or parking lot carries a $50.00 fine on the Schedule of Fines.

These county ordinances apply to unincorporated areas of Camden County. Incorporated cities within the county may have their own rules that take precedence over county-level regulations.

Any person who parks a vehicle on Camden County park land in violation of any posted parking restriction shall be subject to a fine. In addition, the County may tow away any vehicle parking in violation of this regulation and shall charge the violator all applicable towing and storage fees. Nothing in this regulation shall apply to the vehicles and apparatus of a Fire Department, Police Department, or ambulance when responding to an emergency. All provisions of the State Motor Vehicle Act and Traffic Laws will apply on Camden County park lands and will be strictly enforced with further restrictions as follows: (A) The Director may designate one-way streets or designate parking areas as being restricted for the use of particular persons or officials and/or restricted as to use during limited designated hours, and shall post signs designating such parking restrictions.

Full Breakdown

Article 2, Section 1 makes every Camden County Park Regulation effective within all the parks and park lands of the Camden County Park System, so this rule governs county park roads and lots and nothing outside them. Article 4, Section 10(A) gives the Director the power to designate one-way streets and to designate parking areas as restricted for the use of particular persons or officials, restricted as to use during limited designated hours, or both. The Director also must post signs designating each parking restriction. The enforcement sentence at the top of Section 10 turns on those posted restrictions: a person who parks in violation of any posted parking restriction is subject to a fine, and the County can tow the vehicle and charge the violator all applicable towing and storage fees.

Section 10 also states that all provisions of the State Motor Vehicle Act and Traffic Laws apply on Camden County park lands and will be strictly enforced. The one carve-out printed in the section covers the vehicles and apparatus of a Fire Department, Police Department, or ambulance when responding to an emergency. Article 1 defines Vehicles as any motorized conveyance.

The Schedule of Fines in Article 6, Section 2 prices the wrong-way offense at item 4-10(A), Wrong way on one-way street or parking lot, $50.00. Neighboring items cover parking in a prohibited area (4-10(B), $50.00) and parking outside of park hours (4-10(C), $50.00). Section 9 sets the park curfew at 10 PM to 6 AM, with North Park Drive from Route 130 to Cuthbert Boulevard on a curfew from 12 midnight until 6 AM.

Violations & Fines

A driver who goes the wrong way on a one-way park street or lot faces a $50.00 fine under Schedule item 4-10(A). Parking against a posted restriction brings a fine, and the County can tow the vehicle and bill towing and storage fees. Under Article 6, Section 1, a person found guilty by a Municipal Court Judge is subject to a fine, imprisonment not to exceed ninety (90) days, or both, and each day a violation occurs or continues is a separate offense.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who decides which park roads are one-way?
The Director. Article 4, Section 10(A) says the Director may designate one-way streets and may designate parking areas as restricted for particular persons or officials or restricted to limited designated hours, and that the Director shall post signs designating those parking restrictions. The regulation names no other official for that task.
What is the fine for driving the wrong way in a Camden County park?
$50.00, item 4-10(A) of the Schedule of Fines in Article 6, Section 2. The same schedule sets $50.00 for parking in a prohibited area and $50.00 for parking outside of park hours. A guilty finding in Municipal Court can also carry imprisonment not to exceed ninety (90) days, and each day a violation continues is a separate offense.
Can the County tow a car from a park lot?
Yes, for a parking violation. Section 10 says the County can tow away any vehicle parking in violation of the regulation and shall charge the violator all applicable towing and storage fees, in addition to the fine. Fire Department, Police Department, and ambulance vehicles responding to an emergency fall outside the rule.
Do these restrictions apply to streets outside the park?
No. Article 2, Section 1 limits the Park Regulations to the parks and park lands of the Camden County Park System, and Article 1 defines park land as real property under the jurisdiction of Camden County. Streets outside county park property are not covered by Section 10(A).
