[Amended 12-11-2007 by Ord. No. 288-2007]
B.
When any vehicle shall be parked in any space alongside
of or next to which a parking meter is located, the operator or driver
of said vehicle shall, upon entering said parking space, immediately
deposit in the parking meter alongside of or next to said parking
space the required fee in coin of the United States as the case may
be for parking and shall operate the handle necessary to start operation
of the said meter, if such meter is manually operated; and said parking
space may then be used by such vehicle during the parking limit provided
for the part of the highway in which said parking space is located.
If any vehicle shall remain parked at any such parking space beyond
the time allowed by regulation posted on the meter or on official
signs, such vehicle shall be considered as parked overtime, and the
parking of a vehicle overtime or beyond the period of time permitted
in any such part of a highway where a meter is located shall be deemed
a violation of this article.
C.
The parking of any motor vehicle at a parking meter
for more than the parking limit indicated on the meter or an official
sign is prohibited. The parking of any motor vehicle for more than
the parking limit, regardless of whether or not the parking meter
at which such vehicle may be parked displays an overtime signal, shall
be prima facie evidence that such vehicle is parked in violation.
[Amended 9-27-1994 by Ord. No. 211-1994]
A.
It shall be unlawful and an offense for any person
to permit a vehicle to remain parked in any parking space alongside
of or next to which any parking meter is placed while said meter is
displaying a signal showing that such vehicle shall have already parked
beyond the period of time fixed by this chapter or any other ordinance
of the City for such parking space.
B.
Where tickets are issued for violation of this section under the
charges of meter parking or overtime parking, the fine indicated on
the ticket shall be $20 instead of the full fine, if paid in person
at the courthouse by 4:30 p.m. the next business day; or $15 if paid
at a municipal pay station on the same day.[1]
[Amended 1-17-1995 by Ord. No. 25-1995; 7-20-1999 by Ord. No. 191-1999; 12-9-2008 by Ord. No. 243-2008; 3-10-2015 by Ord. No. 44-2015; 12-16-2019 by Ord. No. 2019-246]

Editor’s Note: Former Subsection C, regarding nonpayment
of parking fines, added 7-20-1999 by Ord. No. 191-1999, which immediately
followed this subsection, was repealed 11-15-2016 by Ord. No. 228-2016.
It shall be unlawful and an offense to park
any vehicle across any line or mark designating the parking space
for which a meter is to be used, where lines or marks exist, or to
park said vehicle in such way that the same shall not be within the
area so designated by such lines or markings, if such lines or marks
exist.
It shall be unlawful and an offense to deposit
or cause to be deposited in any parking meter any slug, device or
substitute for a coin of the United States.
It shall be the duty of the Commissioner of
Finance to prescribe the method for causing regular collections of
such moneys deposited in parking meters. The Treasurer shall deposit
or cause the moneys collected from said meters to be deposited to
the credit of the City of New Rochelle. The control, operation, maintenance
and supervision of the parking meters shall be under the supervision
and jurisdiction of the Commissioner of Public Works or duly appointed
designee.
The coins required to be deposited as provided
herein are hereby levied as fees for police regulation and inspection
and to cover the cost of installation, operation, maintenance, policing
and supervision of parking meters and parking meter zones and the
enforcement of the provisions of this article.
The streets or parts of streets described in Schedule XXIII (§ 312-94), attached to and made a part of this chapter, are hereby designated as parking-meter zones, and any person who shall park in any zone so designated shall comply with the provisions of this article.
