Plainfield regulates parking under Ch. 7 (Vehicles and Traffic). City-owned downtown lots prohibit parking 2:00 a.m.–6:00 a.m. Street parking subject to posted time limits. N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 provides the state framework.
Plainfield enforces posted parking restrictions and local time limits. NJ has no statewide street parking time limit. Many NJ municipalities ban overnight street parking entirely (typically 2 AM to 6 AM) for street sweeping and snow removal. Preferential parking permit zones are common in dense communities near train stations and commercial areas. Vehicles must be registered and operable. Parking near fire hydrants (10 feet in NJ) and driveways is prohibited.
Overtime parking: $25 to $75. Overnight ban violation: $30 to $100 + possible towing. Fire hydrant: $54 minimum. Permit zone violation: $30 to $75.
