Parking meters installed in the parking lots shall be placed immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces that shall be marked off and maintained in the lots. For each parking meter there shall be a clear indication, through use of a directional arrow, or an identification as to number with the parking space, to show which individual parking space it serves. Each parking meter shall indicate by a proper legend the parking rate and the maximum parking time established by §
15-601 of this Part, and, when the parking space is occupied and the parking meter put into operation by the insertion of one or more coins, the parking meter shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of legal parking, and, upon the expiration of that period, shall indicate illegal parking or over-parking.
[Ord. 2002-01, 1/7/2002]
The Board of Supervisors, at its discretion,
may provide, at convenient and suitable locations in any one or more
of the metered parking lots, reserved parking spaces for handicapped,
and shall designate those spaces by appropriate signs. It shall be
unlawful, and a violation of this Part, for any person to park in
any such reserved parking space, any vehicle unless that vehicle bears
or displays either: a "handicapped registration plate," a "handicapped
parking placard," a "disabled veteran registration plate" or a "disabled
veteran placard."
[Ord. 2002-01, 1/7/2002]
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any metered
parking lot, at any time when the lot is open for use and the meters
are to be in operation, the driver of the vehicle, upon entering the
parking space, shall immediately deposit, or cause to be deposited,
in the proper 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 remains in any such parking
space for such length of time that the meter indicates that the lawful
parking time has expired, that vehicle shall be considered as being
parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a
violation of this Part; provided every hour that a vehicle remains
parked at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate
violation of this Part.
[Ord. 2002-01, 1/7/2002]
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit
in any parking meter installed under the provisions of this Part any
slug or other substitute for a coin of the United States of America.
[Ord. 2002-01, 1/7/2002]
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. 2002-01, 1/7/2002]
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; provided nothing in this section shall
apply to the servicing or opening of parking meters by officers, employees
or police officers of the Township under the direction of the [Designated
Official] or Board of Supervisors.

The metered parking lots established by this
Part shall be for the use of passenger cars, passenger vans and pickup
trucks only, and it shall be unlawful for any person to park any other
type of vehicle in any of those lots.
