New Jersey Accessible Parking Penalty Sign – “$250 First Offense • Tow-Away Zone”

Post clear legal notice at every accessible space entrance or alongside your main R7-8NJ sign with this New Jersey penalty plaque. The legend includes the required $250 first offense fine and Tow-Away Zone language, supporting enforcement under N.J.S.A. 39:4-197(3)(c) and related NJ guidance. Built on reflective, traffic-grade aluminum for 24/7 visibility and long-term durability.

Compliance Notes (New Jersey)

New Jersey requires conspicuous notice of penalties for parking in accessible spaces without proper identification. State guidance references an initial fine of $250 and, for subsequent offenses, a $250 minimum fine and/or up to 90 days community service. Many jurisdictions also require “Tow-Away Zone” on the penalty plaque. Always verify local ordinance for exact wording, height, and placement before installation.

Recommended Uses

  • Commercial, retail, and healthcare lots
  • Municipal, school, and university facilities
  • HOA and multifamily communities

Installation Tips

  • Place additional penalty/tow notices at entrances if required by your municipality.
