A 4155 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Permits municipality to establish restricted parking spaces for certain volunteer firefighters.

This bill (A4155) allows New Jersey municipalities to establish restricted parking spaces for volunteer firefighters without needing approval from the state transportation commissioner. It amends traffic laws (R.S. 39:4-8) to permit local governments to directly create these spaces, provided they follow standard traffic control guidelines and safety requirements. The policy directly affects volunteer firefighters (who need quick access to stations during emergencies) and municipal governments managing local streets. Municipal engineers must certify that these parking designs meet safety standards before implementation.
