Parking Ticket Handicapped Plackard

[princesszev]

My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: NJ, Trenton
Last week I parked on a side street off Rt. 206 in Mill Hill Section of Trenton. There were no open spaces or Handicapped spaces available so I drove around and found a street that had spaces available. I parked, my Handicapped parking plackard was hanging & visible, I went to handle my business and a little over an hour later came back to find I had a ticket. The ticket was for parking without a permit. I looked around for a sign and found one back at the beginning of the street, I did not see the sign. The ticket is for violating a Trenton municipal ordinance and is a public street. I am assuming that this was to keep State employees from taking up the street all day long since there is not a lot of parking in Trenton. The parking is limited only between 9-5. Do I pay the ticket or does the Handicapped plackard permit parking?

Nope, the handicapped placard only gives you the right to park in handicapped spaces in NJ. There's no "park free at meters" or other "fringe" benefits to it.
Pay the ticket.

Sorry you are misinformed, you can pay full meter and park overtime in NJ. That one I know.

Sorry, I am well informed. You are incapable of reading. Paying and staying overtime is DIFFERENT than not paying at all. Yes you can put the minimal coinage in to make the meter read and stay up to 24 hours. Unlike NYC (when you have a NYC) you're not granted any other special privileges such as parking in certain no parking zones.
