Hackensack regulates on-street parking through posted time limits, residential permit zones, alternate-side rules, and metered areas downtown. Compliance with posted signs is mandatory citywide.
Street parking in Hackensack is governed by Chapter 280, with regulations varying by neighborhood. Downtown core areas around Main Street use metered parking with time limits, typically two hours during business hours. Many residential streets have permit-only parking zones requiring residential parking permits issued by the Hackensack Parking Authority. Signs indicate restrictions including hours of metered enforcement, snow emergency routes, and street-cleaning days when vehicles must be moved. Vehicles must park in the direction of traffic, within twelve inches of the curb, and not within fifteen feet of a fire hydrant or twenty-five feet of a stop sign or intersection.
Tickets range from approximately $25 for meter violations to higher fines for safety-zone violations, with towing for snow emergencies and street cleaning.
