If any vehicle shall remain in any such parking space for such length of time that the meter shall indicate by a proper signal that the lawful parking time shall have expired, such vehicle shall be considered as having been parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this article. Every hour that a vehicle shall remain parked at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate violation of this article.
