For the purpose of this article, the terms used herein shall be defined as follows:
PARKING METER
A device which shall indicate thereon the length of time during which a vehicle may be parked in a particular place, which shall have as a part thereof a receptacle for receiving and storing coins of United States money, a slot or place in which such coins may be deposited, a timing mechanism which shall indicate the period of time during which parking is permissible and which shall display an appropriate signal when such period of time shall have elapsed and also brief instructions as to the operation of such device.
The Director of the Department of Public Safety or his designee shall cause lines or appropriate markings to be painted upon the surface of said streets in the locations where parking meters are installed, outlining and designating the space for which each parking meter is to be used, and each vehicle parking adjacent to any such meter shall be parked within said lines or markings. It shall be unlawful for any person to park any vehicle across or without such lines or markings or in such a position that it shall not be entirely within the space designated thereby.
Whenever a vehicle shall be parked in an individual parking space where a parking meter has been installed, the person parking such vehicle shall deposit in said meter a twenty-five-cent coin of United States money, if such meter indicates that legal parking is permitted only on such deposit, and place such meter into operation.
A. 
For the streets described in § 223-70 of this chapter, upon the deposit of the coin or coins as required and placing such meter into operation, such parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle for 60 consecutive minutes for each twenty-five-cent coin so deposited; provided, however, that such parking shall be limited to not more than two hours at any one time.
B. 
Notwithstanding the provisions of § 223-63A, for the streets described in § 223-70 of this chapter, a meter may be placed into operation and such parking space lawfully occupied by a vehicle for the first 15 consecutive minutes of lawful occupancy without depositing the coin or coins as required.
C. 
Failure to deposit such coin or coins shall constitute a violation of this article and subject such person to the penalty prescribed in § 223-71.
If such vehicle shall remain parked in said parking space beyond the time limit fixed therefor or parts thereof, the parking meter shall so indicate, and in that event the vehicle shall be considered as parked overtime. Such overtime parking shall be a violation of this article and shall subject the operator of such vehicle to the penalty prescribed herein.
A. 
Said parking meters shall be operated Monday through Saturday during the hours of 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., prevailing time.

It shall be unlawful and a violation of the provisions of this article for any person to deface, tamper with or willfully break, destroy or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the authority of this article.
