The following are hereby established as the
metered parking lots operated by the Borough of Clarion:
A. Liberty Street Lot, located between Madison Road and
Liberty Street adjacent to Center Place.
B. Ross Memorial Lot, located between Seventh Avenue
and Dietz Place, adjacent to the north curb of Merle Road.
C. Wood Street Lot, located between Wood Street and Merle
Road adjacent to the Fire Hall.
Parking meters installed in the said lots shall
be placed immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces that
shall be marked off in the said lots. Each parking meter shall be
placed or set in such manner as to show that the parking space adjacent
to such meter is or is not legally occupied. Each parking meter installed
shall indicate by a proper legend the legal time established by this
article and, when occupied, shall indicate on and by its dial and
pointer the duration of the period of legal parking and, on the expiration
of such period, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking.
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed
upon the various metered parking lots hereby established, adjacent
to each parking meter, for the purpose of designating the parking
space for which such meter shall be used. Each vehicle parked adjacent
to any parking meter shall be parked within the lines or markings
so placed and applicable to such meter. It shall be unlawful and a
violation of this article for any person:
A. To park any vehicle across any such line or marking;
B. To park any vehicle in such a position that such vehicle
shall not be within the area so designated by such lines or markings;
or
C. To park a vehicle elsewhere in any such lot than in
an individual parking space adjacent to a parking meter.
It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in
any of the said parking lots otherwise than with the foremost part
of the parked vehicle nearest to the parking meter applicable thereto.
[Amended 10-4-2005 by Ord. No. 2005-735]
Whenever any vehicle is to be parked in any
space adjacent to which a parking meter shall have been placed at
any time during the period limited parking is herein prescribed, the
operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering such parking space,
immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in such parking meter
one or more proper coins of the United States or tokens as shall be
specified in the legend upon such parking meter. Upon the deposit
of such coin or coins or token or tokens and placing the meter in
operation, such parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle
for two hours for each coin/token so deposited in a two-hour parking
meter zone; for three hours for each coin/token so deposited in a
three-hour parking meter zone; and for 10 hours for each coin/token
so deposited in a ten-hour parking meter zone. If any vehicle shall
remain in any such parking space for such length of time that the
meter shall indicate by a proper signal that the lawful parking time
shall have expired, such vehicle shall be considered as having been
parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a
violation of this article. Every hour that a vehicle shall remain
parked at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate
violation of this article.
The metered parking lots hereby established (§
205-48) are hereby declared to be for the use of private vehicles only, and it shall be unlawful and a violation of this article for any person to park in any lot any bus, truck, tractor, trailer, tractor-trailer or commercial vehicle of any kind or nature.
