Full Breakdown
Article IX of Chapter 277, adopted 2-3-2021 as Ord. No. 28/20, governs on-street parking within designated spaces. Section 277-41 applies wherever lines or other markings are painted, placed, signed or otherwise imprinted on or about the public roadways or streets of the Town of West New York to delineate parking spaces or stalls. Motor vehicles and motorcycles can be parked only between those lines or markings, within the delineated space, and only one motor vehicle or motorcycle can occupy any space or stall. The fine is $47.
Other street rules sit beside it in Chapter 277. Section 277-42, added 8-7-2024 by Ord. No. 26/24, confines motorcycles to on-street areas designated as motorcycle parking, which are subject to residential parking requirements, or to metered spots during the hours of metered parking. Parking one in a residential spot not designated for motorcycles, or in a meter spot outside metered hours including overnight, is unlawful and carries a $65 fine for each offense. Article X, adopted 6-5-2024 as Ord. No. 15/24, permits parking in bus and commuter vehicle stops from 9:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. under § 277-43.
Time limits come from the Residential Permit Parking program, which covers all streets in the Town. A vehicle with no permit gets up to a three-hour limit under § 277-24 A, and § 277-31 A fines overstaying $63. A vehicle left for a continuous forty-eight-hour period can be booted. Parking in front of a private driveway is regulated separately by § 277-19, which allows it only for the owner, the owner's household or with the owner's authorization. Spaces reserved for disabled drivers fall under § 277-12.1, which sends fines to N.J.S.A. 39:4-197(3)c, and restricted spaces and permits are valid for one year with an annual renewal fee of $15 under § 277-13 I.
Violations & Fines
Parking outside the lines or sharing a marked stall carries a $47 fine under § 277-41. A motorcycle in an undesignated residential spot or in a meter spot after meter hours is fined $65 for each offense under § 277-42 C. Parking in a permit zone over the hourly limit without a permit is a $63 fine under § 277-31 A, and a vehicle left for a continuous forty-eight-hour period can be immobilized with a vehicle boot.
