Tickets, Towing For Cars On Street During Snow In Parsippany

PARSIPPANY, NJ — Parsippany residents should move their cars off the road before Tuesday morning's snow starts, otherwise they can expect to be ticketed or towed.

Parking on snow covered streets is barred by local ordinance in Parsippany. "You may be asking why we have a local ordinance that prohibits parking on snow covered roadways. The ordinance is in place to assist plow operators by letting them clear the snow as close to the curb as possible. On roadways that may not have been plowed yet, it allows emergency service vehicles more room to maneuver down slippery roadways," officials said.
