There is hereby authorized and established zones to be known as parking meter zones for on-street parking as described in Schedule VII and off-street parking as described in Schedule VIII.
The Township Council of this municipality shall cause parking meters to be installed in all zones established as parking meter zones in this chapter, at the discretion of said Township Council.
It shall be unlawful for the owner or operator of any vehicle to park such vehicle between the hours as described in Schedule VII (on-street parking) and Schedule VIII (off-street parking) on any day (except Sundays and public holidays) upon portions of any street designated in Schedule VII in any parking meter zone where parking meters have been installed, unless specific payments are made as hereinafter designated.
On the streets so designated for parking meter zones, the Parking Authority shall, by appropriate markings, outline individual parking spaces, to join each of which parking spaces shall be erected a parking meter which, upon the deposit of a coin as hereinafter provided, will indicate the duration of the legal parking period and the time when such period has elapsed.

A. 
The owner or operator of a vehicle shall, immediately upon entering a parking space, deposit one or more coins of the United States of America in the parking meter adjoining such parking space and turn the lever to cause the parking meter to operate. Failure to deposit the coin or coins or to turn the lever to operate will constitute a violation of this section.
B. 
The fee for all parking meters shall be $0.50 per hour for the first two hours of parking. For all hours beyond two, the rate schedule shall increase progressively per hour, as provided in §§ 477-65 and 477-66.
No person shall cause a vehicle to remain in or to be parked in a parking space adjacent to any parking meter while such meter displays a signal indicating the period of time for such parking has expired.
It shall be unlawful for any person to cause, allow, permit or suffer any such vehicle, registered in his or her name, to be parked in parking meter zones herein designated or to be hereafter designated, in violation of the provisions of this article.
It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle across any line or marking designated a parking space or to park said vehicle in any way that the same will not wholly be within a parking space as designated by said markings.
It shall be unlawful to deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter a slug, device or metallic substitute for a coin of the United States of America.
It shall be unlawful to deface, tamper with, damage, unlawfully open or willfully break, destroy or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the terms of this article.
Nothing contained in this article shall be construed to permit parking of vehicles in those spaces within any zone in which by other articles the parking of vehicles is prohibited.
