Woodbridge, NJ Sign Regulations: Window Signs (2026)

17b lists signs that are prohibited whether permanent or temporary, and item 4 targets window coverage directly: window signs exceeding ten percent of the window area are barred, excluding price signs on gasoline pumps. The same subsection separately bans fence signs, roof signs, and game signs outright, and prohibits flags, pennants, banners or streamers designed to distract drivers, along with any sign that blocks sight distance at a driveway or sits within five feet of a public right-of-way. Any permanent sign otherwise needs approval under the Township's Municipal Land Use Ordinance or authorization from the Planning Board, Zoning Board of Adjustment or Redevelopment Agency; a legally nonconforming sign already up as of the June 28, 2011 effective date of Ordinance No.

11-44 can stay only if it is not specifically prohibited and stays in good repair, painted and structurally sound, but it cannot be replaced. 17 without advance notice: subsection d authorizes the Township to remove any violating sign immediately, run a violation hotline for residents to report offenders, and shields anyone who removes a right-of-way sign from being fined for doing so. A merchant papering over a storefront window with sale banners beyond the 10% threshold, or leaving temporary signage past its removal deadline, exposes both the sign owner and, per subsection f2, the business or candidate that benefits from the illegal posting to the same penalty.
