N.J. Admin. Code § 13:20-33.48 - Commercial vehicle inspection: parking brake
(a) The parking brake
shall be able to hold the motor vehicle stationary on any up or down grade upon
which it can be operated, whether the motor vehicle is empty or loaded.
(b) The parking brake shall be equipped with a
ratchet and pawl, or other type of automatic locking device, which will hold the
brake in the applied position. On motor vehicles equipped with an automatic
transmission and an automatic parking brake release, the locking device shall hold
the parking brake in the applied position regardless of whether the transmission
gear shift lever is in the "neutral" or "park" position.
(c) When the parking brake is applied, there shall
be a minimum of one-third of the total average travel (as per the motor vehicle
manufacturer's specifications) remaining.
