Advisory: Maple Shade Police remind residents to park their car in their driveway at night. It’s not the law in Maple Shade, but it’s a very good idea. It’s safer for your car, and it also makes it safer for the police to patrol the streets and safer for all emergency vehicles such as fire trucks and ambulances to respond to calls.
