Parking meters installed in designated parking meter zones shall
be placed upon the street curb or parking lot immediately adjacent
to the individual parking places, as hereinafter described. Each parking
meter shall be placed or set in such manner as to display a signal
that the parking place adjacent to such meter is or is not legally
in use. Each parking meter shall indicate, by a proper legend, the
legal parking time and amount of coins to be deposited and, when operated,
shall indicate, by its dial and pointer, the duration of the period
of legal parking, the expiration of such period, and shall indicate
illegal or overtime parking. In addition, signs shall be posted in
proximity to the meters, indicating the legal parking time for the
areas regulated by such meters.
Lines or markings shall be painted or placed upon the curb,
sidewalk, street, or parking lot area adjacent to each parking meter
for the purpose of designating the parking space for which such meter
is to be used, and any vehicle parked within an area regulated by
a traffic meter shall be parked entirely within the space so designated.
Any vehicle parked in a parking space in any parking meter zone
shall be parked so that the frontmost part of such vehicle shall be
nearest to the parking meter.
