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. 09-00, 10/2/2000]
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. 09-00, 10/2/2000]
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. 09-00, 10/2/2000]
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. 09-00, 10/2/2000]
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. 09-00, 10/2/2000]
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 Board of Supervisors,
or its designee.
[Ord. 09-00, 10/2/2000]
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.
