meanings indicated:
An electronic device intended to assist public authorities
in enforcing the provisions of this article, such device being designed
to limit the time during which vehicles may be within a parking meter
zone.
Streets or highways or portions thereof, or off-highway Borough-leased
and/or -owned parking lots, as designated in this article, on which
parking meters are installed, operated and used.
The Borough Council is hereby authorized to provide for the marking off of individual parking spaces in the parking meter zones and areas designated and described in § 172-36, said parking spaces to be designated by lines painted or marked on the curbing or surface of the highway or area. At each space so marked off, it shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in such a way that said vehicle shall not be entirely within the limits of the space so designated.
A.
In said parking meter zones, parking meters shall be installed upon the curb, sidewalk or pavement immediately adjacent to the parking spaces provided for in § 172-28 of this article. The Borough Council shall be responsible for the regulation, control, operation, maintenance and use of such parking meters.
B.
Each device shall be so set as to display a signal showing legal
parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin, for the period of
time hereinafter prescribed. Each device 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 has expired
and, in such case, the right of such vehicle to occupy such space
shall cease, and the operator, owner, possessor or manager thereof
shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
A.
When a parking space in any parking meter zone is parallel with the
adjacent curb or sidewalk, any vehicle parked in such parking space
shall be parked so that the foremost part of such vehicle shall be
nearest to the parking meter; provided, however, that, where double
parking meters are installed upon one standard so as to serve two
parking spaces, any vehicle parked in the space just beyond the parking
meters shall be parked so that the rear bumper of such vehicle shall
be nearest to the parking meters. When a parking space in any parking
meter zone is diagonal to the curb or sidewalk, any vehicle parked
in such parking space shall be parked with the foremost part of such
vehicle nearest to such meter.
B.
Where lines or markings are painted or placed upon the curb, sidewalk,
highway and/or paved surface adjacent to each parking meter providing
for parking at an angle and not parallel or perpendicular to the curb,
it shall be unlawful for the operator of any motor vehicle to cross
the center line of the highway to enter or leave said parking area.
When any vehicle shall be parked in any space adjacent to which
a parking meter is located in accordance with the provisions of this
article, the operator shall, upon entering the said parking space,
immediately deposit or cause to be deposited such coin or coins of
the United States as are required for such parking meter and as are
designated by proper instructions on the parking meter, while failure
to deposit such coin or coins shall constitute a breach of this article
and shall subject each person to the penalty prescribed hereafter.
Upon the deposit of such coin or coins and placing said meter in operation,
the parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during
the period of parking time which has been prescribed for the zone
in which said parking space is located and for which a coin or coins
is or are deposited, as indicated on the parking meter. If said vehicle
shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond the parking time
limit so fixed for such parking space, the parking meter shall, by
its violation signal, dial or pointer, indicate such illegal parking,
and in that event, such vehicle shall be considered as parked overtime
and beyond the period of legal parking time. The parking of a vehicle
overtime or beyond the period of legal parking time in any such space
where any such parking meter is located shall be a violation of this
article and punishable as hereinafter set forth.

particular parking meter zone.

adjacent to any parking meter while said meter is displaying a signal
