Street parking in Edison Township is regulated under Chapter 7 (Traffic) of the Edison Township Code, with state baseline rules from N.J.S.A. Title 39. Schedules of restricted streets, no-parking zones, permit-parking blocks, and time-limited parking are listed within Chapter 7 and amended periodically by ordinance. Ord. O.2244-2025 (February 26, 2025) is the most recent amendment updating restricted-street schedules.
Chapter 7 (Traffic) of the Edison Township Code is the local source for street-parking regulation; it incorporates schedules of no-parking, no-stopping, time-limit, and permit-parking streets that the Township Council updates by ordinance from time to time. The current schedules reflect amendments through Ord. O.2244-2025 (adopted February 26, 2025). General state rules from N.J.S.A. Title 39 — such as the 25-ft setback from a stop sign or intersection, the 10-ft setback from a fire hydrant, no parking on sidewalks or crosswalks, and one-way street parking direction — apply throughout Edison alongside the local schedules. Certain neighborhoods near Edison's commuter rail stations or commercial districts include permit-parking zones; residents in those areas can apply for permits through the township. Edison Police enforce street-parking rules and the Edison Municipal Court adjudicates contested tickets.
Street-parking violations under Chapter 7 are payable parking tickets with fines set in the township's traffic-fine schedule (state statutory framework under N.J.S.A. 39:4-26 et seq. and local resolutions). Habitual or aggravated violations under Chapter 7 can carry the township's general penalty of up to $50 or 15 days imprisonment (Chapter 1 §1-5). Vehicles obstructing fire hydrants, crosswalks, or bus stops may be towed at owner's expense.
