Street parking across Atlantic 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 shore towns add seasonal resident-permit zones.
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 Atlantic County town. The barrier-island resorts add heavy summer layers: Atlantic City runs residential permit-parking zones, and Brigantine, Ventnor, and Margate sell seasonal beach-block permits so residents can park near the beach during the busy Memorial Day to Labor Day season. Rules become enforceable once properly signposted. 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. Permit-zone and time-limit violations bring separate municipal tickets, heavily enforced in summer.
