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 streets and areas described in §
223-70 of this chapter are hereby designated as streets and areas authorized for the installation of parking meters.
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.
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.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of the
provisions of this article to deposit or cause to be deposited in
any parking meter any slug, metal disk or other substitute for the
twenty-five-cent coin of the United States.
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.
The Chief of Police shall designate some member
or members of his Department to collect the coins deposited in parking
meters in such manner as he shall from time to time designate and
to deliver them promptly to the Township Treasurer.
In accordance with the provisions of §
223-60, the installation of parking meters be and hereby is authorized on the following described streets or parts thereof:
