Passaic County does not set on-street parking rules for local streets. Under New Jersey's traffic law, each municipality regulates parking, standing, and stopping on its own streets. County-road parking is limited and handled by the County only through its road and access permit process.
New Jersey Title 39 delegates on-street parking control to local authorities: municipalities adopt parking ordinances for their streets, and only county-owned roads fall under county jurisdiction. Passaic County maintains 246 miles of county roadway across its 16 municipalities through its Roads Division, but day-to-day curbside parking (time limits, permit zones, snow bans, alternate-side rules) is set by each town's code, such as the parking chapters of Paterson, Clifton, and Wayne. On a county road, any change to the physical curb line, a new driveway, or roadway work requires a Passaic County road/access permit through the County Engineering Department, but the posted parking regulations along that road are still generally enforced under the host municipality's ordinance and Title 39.
Illegal street parking is enforced by municipal police or parking enforcement under the town's ordinance and N.J.S.A. Title 39, with fines set locally. The County does not issue routine parking tickets; its role on county roads is limited to permits
