By observing the guidelines below you can help keep Rahway traffic moving and also avoid parking tickets.     

“NO PARKING ANYTIME”
These signs prohibit drivers from parking under any circumstances. They are most frequently placed on streets where stopping can cause serious traffic congestion and safety concerns.

“LOADING ZONE”
These signs only permit vehicles with commercial license plates to stop and unload and load cargo. They may remain in the zone until they have completed unloading or loading.

Passenger vehicles are prohibited from parking in these zones, because they force vehicles with cargo to double park or park in prohibited areas.

“FIRE HYDRANTS”
You may not park within 10 feet of a fire hydrant. Blocking a fire hydrant can prevent fire equipment from reaching the hydrant.

“OVERTIME PARKING”
Meter rates and time limits are set to encourage turnover because parking spaces are limited in congested areas. Time limits are designed to regulate each space in accordance with the needs of the area.

“PUBLIC AND PRIVATE DRIVEWAYS”
You may not block ANY part of a driveway. Vehicles may need the full width of the driveway to enter and exit from the street.

“CORNERS”
You may not park within 25 feet of any corner or crosswalk because you will interfere with motorists’ and pedestrians’ visibility. Blocking a corner can prevent easy turning by moving vehicles, particularly buses and trucks.

“SIDEWALKS”
Sidewalks are for pedestrians. Don’t force pedestrians to use the street by parking any vehicle on the sidewalk.

“RESIDENTIAL PERMIT PARKING”
The residential parking permit (RPP) sticker is only applicable for the specific street designated on the sticker. The sticker exempts the resident from the 2-Hour time limit parking restriction on the designated street. All other parking regulations are enforced.

“NO PARKING WHEN SNOW-COVERED”
Parking is prohibited on certain posted streets whenever snow has fallen and the accumulation covers the road.
