TRAFFIC ADVISORY Residents Asked to Observe No Parking on Snow Covered Roadways

Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka and Public Safety Director Anthony F. Ambrose are asking all residents to observe the city’s “No Parking on Snow Covered Roads” regulations due to the expected snowfall as part of a potential storm event this weekend and continuing into Monday, January 21st, 2019.

After 4 p.m. on Saturday, January 19th, snow is expected, followed by freezing rain and sleet with high winds after 1 a.m. Sunday. Accumulations of 3 to 7 inches are possible.

On Sunday, freezing rain is expected before 10 a.m., with freezing rain and sleet expected to follow into the early afternoon. High winds and another chance of snow is expected after 1 p.m. Temperatures are expected to fall into the single digits on Sunday night.

Residents and visitors should avoid unnecessary travel.

The City of Newark has activated a “Code Blue” to continue through Monday, January 21st. Code Blue is called when temperatures reach 25◦F or lower without precipitation or 32◦ F with precipitation. When this happens, the city’s shelters are open to those in need. For more information, visit the City of Newark’s website at: www.newarknj.gov.

Please call: 973-733-6000 for non-emergency weather related matters.

Dial 911 for emergencies.

Signs have been posted on streets throughout the City of Newark to notify motorists of the streets designated for no parking during snow storms. Motorist and residents are urged to look for the sign pictured below to identify the streets where the parking ban will be enforced.

Violators can expect to be issued a summons and towed.  These regulations are essential to the removal/plowing of snow and salting operations and to allow emergency vehicles to pass. Whenever possible, off-street parking is recommended during snow storms. That may mean partnering with a neighbor to use their driveway.

All residents are reminded that tossing snow into the street is against the law, and violators will be fined.

“I urge all of our people to follow our ordinances and to check on their neighbors, particularly the elderly, to make sure they are safe,” Mayor Baraka said.
