Beginning March 1, 2021
By municipal ordinance, no vehicle shall be parked on any street during any night of the year between the hours of 2:30AM and 5AM or when snow is forecast. Requests must be received prior to 2AM or vehicle may be subject to a parking citation. Call the police department non-emergency number 908-273-0051 with questions.
Why are there time limits for parking?
The posted time limit on parking is designed to keep spaces open for business customers and area visitors by requiring vehicles to vacate spots once the time limit is reached. Overstaying the limit in non-metered residential streets or adding more money to the meter after reaching the time limit is illegal. These rules have been implemented to best maintain short-term parking availability.
