B. 
All frontages in said areas, streets or portions of streets defining said zones are to be included therein; provided, however, that the spaces designated as bus stops and loading zones shall be excluded from the above-described parking meter zones.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Farmingdale is hereby directed and authorized to mark off individual parking spaces in the parking zones and in such other zones as may hereafter be established. Said parking spaces are to be designated by lines painted or durably marked upon the curbing or surface of the street. At each space so marked, 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. All parking meter spaces shall be so marked that vehicles will be required to park parallel to the curb or edge of pavement on any state highway and so that no vehicle will be required to park in violation of the Vehicle and Traffic Law.
A. 
In said parking meter zones, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Farmingdale shall cause parking meters to be installed upon the curb or sidewalk immediately adjacent to the parking space designated as provided in § 98-36 hereof, and such Board of Trustees shall be responsible for the regulation, control, maintenance and use of such parking meters.
B. 
Each parking meter shall be so set as to display a signal showing legal parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin or coins, lawful money of the United States of America, for the period of time prescribed by this chapter. Each meter shall be so arranged that upon the expiration of the period of legal parking time purchased by the coin or coins deposited, it will indicate by a proper, visible signal that the lawful parking period has expired, and in such cases the right of such vehicle to occupy such space shall cease and the operator, owner or manager thereof shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
C. 
Digital or computer-assisted parking. The Board of Trustees of the Village of Farmingdale shall have the authority, by resolution, to establish digital or computer-assisted parking meter zones and areas within the Village of Farmingdale and shall, from time to time, by resolution, establish the rules, requirements, and fees for parking in digital or computer-assisted parking zones or areas.
[Added 10-11-2022 by L.L. No. 6-2022]
Except in a period of emergency determined by an officer of the Village Fire Department or the Police Department of the County of Nassau, or in compliance with the directions of a police officer or traffic control sign or signal, when any vehicle shall be parked in any parking space alongside or next to which a parking meter is located, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering said parking meter space, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in said meter such proper coin of the United States as is required for such parking meter and as is designated by proper direction on the meter, and when required by the direction on the meter, the operator of such vehicle, after the deposit of the proper coin or coins, shall also set in operation the timing mechanism on such meter in accordance with the directions properly appearing therein, and failure to deposit such proper coin and to set the timing mechanism in operation when so required shall constitute a violation of this chapter. Upon deposit of such coin and the setting of the timing mechanism in operation when so required, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period of legal parking time which has been purchased by the coin or coins deposited, provided that any person placing a vehicle in a parking meter space adjacent to a meter which indicates unused time shall not be required to deposit a coin so long as his occupancy of said space does not exceed the indicated unused parking time. If said vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond the parking time limit set for parking place, and if the meter shall indicate such illegal parking, then and in that event such vehicle shall be considered as parking overtime and beyond the period of legal parking time, and such parking shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.
