The Board of Trustees is hereby directed and authorized to mark off individual parking spaces in the parking meter zones designated and described in §§
172-30 and
172-31 hereof and in such other zones as may hereafter be established, said parking spaces to be designated by lines painted or durably marked upon the curbing or surface of the street. At each space so marked it shall be unlawful to park any vehicle unless said vehicle shall be entirely within the limits of the space so marked.
Each parking meter shall be so set as to display a signal showing
legal parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin or coins, lawful
money of the United States of America, for the period of time prescribed
by this article. Each meter shall be so arranged that, upon the expiration
of the lawful time limit, it will indicate by a proper visible signal
that the lawful parking period had expired, and in such case the right
of such vehicle to occupy such space shall cease and the operator,
owner or person in charge thereof shall be subject to the penalties
hereinafter provided.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of the provisions of this
article for any person to:
A. Cause, allow, permit or suffer any vehicle registered in the name
of, or operated by, such person to be parked overtime or beyond the
period of legal parking time established for any parking meter zone
as herein described or to deposit in any parking meter any coin for
the purpose of parking beyond the maximum legal parking time for the
particular parking meter zone.
B. Permit any vehicle to remain or be placed in any parking space adjacent
to any parking meter while said meter is displaying a signal indicating
that the vehicle occupying such parking space has already been parked
beyond the period prescribed for such parking space.
C. Park any vehicle across any line or marking of a parking meter space
or in such position that the vehicle shall not be entirely within
the area designated by such lines or markings.
D. Deface, injure, tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy or
impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the provisions
of this article.
E. Deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter any slug, device
or metal substance or other substitute for lawful coins.
It shall be the duty of the Police Department to enforce the
provisions of this article.
Nothing in this article shall be construed as prohibiting the
Village from providing for bus stops, taxicab stands and similar matters,
including the loading or unloading of trucks, vans or other commercial
vehicles, except that it shall be lawful for commercial trucks, delivery
cars or motor vehicles of public service companies or municipalities
to park in the parking meter zones to load or unload the same or while
the operator is engaged in the business of such public service company
or municipality for a period not to exceed 30 minutes.
