Howell, NJ Parking Rules: Street Parking Limits (2026)

The Township Council regulates curbside parking in Chapter 7 by schedule. Section 7-3.3 bars parking at any time on the streets or parts of streets described in Schedule I. Section 7-3.4 bars parking between the hours specified in Schedule II, on any day except Sundays and public holidays. Section 7-3.5 covers stopping and standing: the ban applies on the hours and days named in Schedule III, and if Schedule III names none, it runs 24 hours per day and seven days per week. Section 7-3.6 caps parking at the time limit shown in Schedule IV between the listed hours, again except Sundays and public holidays. The street-by-street lists sit in those attached schedules, so a driver reads the posted sign against the schedule. Section 7-3.1 adds that a time limit does not relieve anyone of more restrictive provisions in N.J.S.A. 39:4-138, any other New Jersey statute or later Howell provisions, and § 7-2 fixes named hours as Eastern Standard Time or Eastern Daylight Saving Time, whichever is in current use.

Residential streets carry a vehicle-type rule in § 7-3.7(a). No truck, tractor, trailer, dumpster, bus, school bus, recreational vehicle, vehicle used for the transportation of passengers for hire or construction equipment of any kind can park on any street within a residentially zoned area at any time of the day. A dumpster has no exception. The other listed vehicles can stand while actively used for delivery, pickup, loading and unloading, and recreational vehicles can remain up to 48 hours before a trip departure and 48 hours on return. Subsection (b) exempts a truck or vehicle less than 25 feet in length, and subsection (c) assigns enforcement to the Township Police Department. Subsection (e) bars motor homes, camper vans and travel trailers with living quarters from any public street, public property or right-of-way in any zone.

Section 7-3.2 covers emergencies. When the Chief of Police or the ranking police officer declares an emergency for weather, accidents, fire or public celebrations, no one can park where temporary EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs are displayed, and an unoccupied vehicle left there is deemed a nuisance that any police officer can have removed.
