Summary
Vineland City Code § 694-6 bars stopping or standing on streets listed in Schedule III, and § 694-8 separately makes it unlawful to park on any street to display a vehicle for sale, wash or wax it, or repair it except in an emergency. Section 694-3 layers these local rules on top of New Jersey's own stopping and standing statute, N.J.S.A. 39:4-138.
§ 694-6. Stopping or standing prohibited. No person shall stop or stand a vehicle upon any of the streets or parts of streets described in Schedule III (§ 694-32), attached to and made a part of this Part 1. ... § 694-8. Unlawful parking. No person shall park any vehicle on any street for the purposes of: A. Displaying said vehicle for sale. B. Cleaning, waxing or greasing said vehicle. C. Repairing said vehicle, except for reasons of emergency. ... § 694-3. Regulations not exclusive. The provisions of this article imposing a time limit on parking shall not relieve any person of the duty to observe other and more restrictive provisions prohibiting or limiting the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles as set forth in N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 or any other New Jersey statutes or as hereinafter provided. ... § 694-28. Violations and penalties. ... A. Penalties. Unless another penalty is expressly provided by New Jersey statute and except as otherwise provided herein, every person convicted of a violation of a provision of this Part 1 or any supplement thereto shall be liable to a penalty of not more than $50 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days, or both.
Full Breakdown
Vineland's on-street parking rules split stopping, standing, and specific-purpose parking into separate offenses under Article II of the Traffic Ordinance. Vineland City Code § 694-6 prohibits any person from stopping or standing a vehicle on the streets or street segments listed in Schedule III at § 694-32, a designation distinct from the outright no-parking-at-any-time list in Schedule I and the hours-based restrictions of Schedule II. Section 694-8 targets purpose-based misuse of the street rather than location: no person may park a vehicle on any street to display it for sale, to clean, wax, or grease it, or to repair it, except where the repair is needed because of an emergency.
Section 694-3 makes clear that these city-specific time and purpose limits are layered on top of, not a substitute for, the state's own stopping-and-standing restrictions under N.J.S.A. 39:4-138 and other provisions of Title 39; a driver can violate both at once. The Vineland Police Department enforces these provisions as part of its general traffic authority, and § 694-29 gives officers authority to have an unattended vehicle towed and stored, at the owner's expense, when it is found in violation and deemed a nuisance, such as on the south side of Cherry Street between Howard and State Streets near Newcomb Hospital. Convictions under Part 1 of the Traffic Ordinance are penalized under the general penalty clause of § 694-28(A).
Violations & Fines
Stopping or standing in violation of § 694-6, or parking to display, wash, wax, grease, or non-emergency repair a vehicle in violation of § 694-8, is punishable under § 694-28(A) by a fine of not more than $50 or imprisonment for up to fifteen days, or both, unless a New Jersey statute sets a different penalty. Vehicles left unattended in violation may also be removed and stored at the owner's cost under § 694-29.
