The power of the municipality to adopt ordinances concerning traffic and parking is contained in R. S. 39:4-197. Various statutory provisions throughout Title 09 control the manner in which municipalities may regulate parking and traffic. R. S. 39:4-8 requires that all traffic and parking ordinances be approved by the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Any words or phrases used in this chapter shall have the same meanings as those given to them in Subtitle I of Title 39 of the New Jersey Revised Statutes.
The provisions of this chapter 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 contained in N. J. R. S. 39:4-138, any other New Jersey Statute, or as provided in this chapter.
The parking or storing of automobiles, vehicles, parts, tools and equipment on any public street of the city for the purpose of sale or for making repairs except in an emergency, is prohibited.
The chief of police or, in his absence, the ranking police officer of the police department is authorized to declare an emergency and direct the posting of EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs when weather conditions, accidents, fires, public celebrations and similar occurrences require the avoidance of conditions which are hazardous or which interfere with the free flow of traffic.
Upon the declaration of an emergency, there shall be no parking upon streets or parts of streets where EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs are displayed.
Notification that EMERGENCY NO PARKING signs are being or will be posted shall be given to the operator or owner of any vehicle which has been parked prior to the posting of the signs.
Pacific Avenue is hereby declared to be an emergency snow route. Whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation is such that it covers the street, no vehicle shall be parked on Pacific Avenue and this prohibition shall remain in effect after the snow has ceased and until the streets have been plowed sufficiently to the extent that parking will not interfere with the normal flow of traffic. Permanent signs reading NO PARKING WHEN ROAD IS SNOW COVERED shall be erected at 200 foot intervals on either side of Pacific Avenue.
Any unoccupied vehicle parked or standing in violation of this section is declared to be a nuisance, an obstruction to the flow of traffic and a danger to other vehicles using the highway.

Removal or storage charges shall be in addition to any penalty imposed for violation of this section.

The director of public affairs and public safety shall have lines or markings painted or placed upon the curb or upon the street adjacent to each parking meter for the purpose of designating the parking space for which the meter is to be used.
