Fort Lee enforces metered, time-limited, and permit-only street parking throughout downtown and residential zones, with restrictions on parking distance from hydrants, intersections, and crosswalks.
The Fort Lee Borough Code regulates on-street parking through a combination of meters, posted time limits, residential permit zones, and statewide rules adopted from Title 39 of the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Code. Vehicles must be parked at least 25 feet from a stop sign, 10 feet from a fire hydrant, and 50 feet from a railroad crossing. Many residential streets near the Hudson River and George Washington Bridge require permits, with visitor passes available from the Borough Clerk. Meter enforcement runs during posted hours, typically Monday through Saturday.
Parking ticket fines range from $39 for meter violations up to $250 for hydrant or fire-zone violations, with towing possible.
