• Are there "no parking" signs on the center lane of the GSP?

• Not in my book! The car is a Hyndai Elantra, which is a compact car. My tires were against the curb. Cars traveling on the side of the street where I parked would have to stay toward the center of the road, particularly an SUV or truck, but its not as if cars had to stop for oncoming traffic.

I have found some statements on the internet saying that there must be a "no parking sign" or "no parking this side of street" but I can't really go into court w/ that kind of hearsay as my evidence. I'm really trying to find out if these statements are correct and if so how I can obtain a copy of the statute.

  Was your "parked" car blocking traffic?

• There are "no stopping or standing" signs.

• For any who were wondering, here is what I found in the NJ parking statutes:
  b. A person shall not park or leave standing a vehicle, whether attended or unattended, upon the highway, outside of a business or residence district, when it is practicable to park or leave it standing off the highway. In no event shall a person park or leave standing a vehicle whether attended or unattended, upon a highway, unless a clear and unobstructed width of not less than fifteen feet upon the highway opposite the standing vehicle is left for free passage of other vehicles, or unless a clear view of the vehicle may be obtained from a distance of 200 feet in each direction upon the highway.
  Source: 39:4-135; 39:4-136; 39:4-137; 39:4-139.
  
  ==The above applies if the officer whom I argued w/ contends that the road I was parked on was a highway (oddly he compared this single lane in either direction w/ double lines to the Parkway) My vehicle was in clear view for more than 200 feet in either direction.
  
  39A:PKG-4. No parking zones
  The Chief Administrator, by regulations, shall have authority to establish and maintain "no parking" zones on portions of State highways where parking is deemed hazardous or inimical to the proper flow of traffic. "No parking" zones so established shall be clearly marked by appropriate signs of a type and design according to specifications adopted by the Chief Administrator.
  Source: 39:4-138.1.
  ===A-ha. Here is what I was really after. There must be a "clearly marked sign"

• Let's try it this way: does the street where you were ticketed have one lane or two (only on the side you were ticketed)?

  Please don't mislead folks. This guy was blocking traffic.

• Our city has an ordinance that with a vehicle parked there still must be at least twelve feet in the lane of traffic. Look for something like that in your local ordinances.
