A. As set forth in this chapter, New Hope Borough regulates certain
on-street and off-street parking spaces through the use of parking
meters, either through a single-space parking meter or a multispace
parking meter.
B. It shall be unlawful for any person parking in a vehicle in any parking
space regulated by a parking meter, whether a single-space meter or
a multispace meter, to fail to operate, start or continue use of the
parking meter, such as, by way of example and not of limitation, turning
the crank on an single-space parking meter, despite having paid for
use of the parking space through any method approved in this Chapter.
A person who commits the aforementioned violation shall be deemed
to have committed the same parking violation as if no money was placed
in the meter or no payment made through an approved alternative method.
[Added 7-13-2004 by Ord. No. 2004-6; amended 5-26-2015 by Ord. No. 2015-03; 4-18-2023 by Ord. No. 2023-04]
