[Ord. 6-2006, 10/18/2006]
Parking meters shall be operated, by the deposit of a coin in the meter, as prescribed by § 15-505, and the parking rates for specified lengths of time, as well as the maximum parking times prescribed in § 15-501, shall apply at all times between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, in the parking meter zones listed in § 15-501; provided, however, that the requirements of this Part as to parking time limit and as to deposit of coins in meters shall not apply on Borough holidays.
[Ord. 6-2006, 10/18/2006]
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones established by § 15-501 of this Part shall be placed upon the curb or sidewalk and immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces described in § 15-504 of this Part. Each parking meter shall be placed or set so as to show that the parking space adjacent to that meter is or is not legally occupied. Each parking meter installed shall indicate by a proper legend the legal parking time established by the Borough and when the adjacent space is occupied by a vehicle, the parking meter shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of the period of legal parking, and, on the expiration of that period, shall indicate illegal parking or over-parking.
[Ord. 6-2006, 10/18/2006]
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the curb, sidewalk or roadway adjacent to each parking meter for the purpose of delineating the parking space for which that meter shall be used. Every vehicle parked at any parking meter shall be parked wholly within the lines or markings so placed and applicable to that meter. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this Part for any person to park a vehicle across any such line or marking, or to park a vehicle in such a position that that vehicle is not wholly within the area designated by those lines or markings.
[Ord. 6-2006, 10/18/2006]
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any space adjacent to a parking meter, at any time in the period of limited parking as prescribed by § 15-502 of this Part, the driver of the vehicle, upon entering the parking space, shall immediately deposit, or cause to be deposited, in that parking meter, one or more proper coins of the United States of America as specified in the legend on the parking meter. Upon the deposit of the coin or coins, and placing the meter in operation, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by the vehicle for the time indicated on the meter. If any vehicle shall remain in any space parking space for any length of time that the meter shall indicate by proper signal that the lawful parking time has expired, that vehicle shall be considered as having been parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this Part.
[Ord. 06-2017, 6/21/2017]
In addition to the payment forms prescribed for metered parking under this Part, the Borough may adopt additional electronic payment methods, using mobile application-based payment or remote electronic payment as a substitute for the deposit of coins within existing parking meters. Such electronic payment methods may be used, in accordance with the rules established by the Borough through vendor agreements, in any parking meter zone established under § 15-501. Where a parking meter zone established under this Part has been posted as designated to accept alternate payment methods, compliance with such alternate payment method shall fulfill the requirements of § 15-505 relative to the payment of meter charges for parking in the posted parking meter zone.

[Ord. 6-2006, 10/18/2006]
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this Part, for any person to permit a vehicle to remain in a parking space adjacent to a parking meter installed under this Part, when that meter displays a signal indicating that the vehicle has already been parked there beyond the period of time prescribed for that parking space, or the time for which a coin or coins was deposited in that meter for the parking of that vehicle.
[Ord. 6-2006, 10/18/2006]
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this Part, for any person to deface, tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the provisions of this Part.
