Parking meters installed in the parking lots shall be placed immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces that shall be marked off and maintained in the lots. For each parking meter there shall be a clear indication, through use of a directional arrow or an identification as to number within the parking space, to show which individual parking space it serves. Each parking meter shall indicate by a proper legend the parking rate and the maximum parking time established by § 290-58 of this article, and when the parking space is occupied and the parking meter put into operation by the insertion of one or more coins, the parking meter shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of legal parking and, upon the expiration of that period, shall indicate illegal parking or over-parking.
The Borough Council, at its discretion, may provide, at convenient
and suitable locations in any one or more of the metered parking lots,
reserved parking spaces for handicapped, and shall designate those
spaces by appropriate signs. It shall be unlawful and a violation
of this article for any person to park in any such reserved parking
space any vehicle unless that vehicle bears or displays either a handicapped
registration plate, a handicapped parking placard, a disabled veteran
registration plate, or a disabled veteran placard.
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the surface
of the metered parking lots, adjacent to each parking meter, for the
purpose of delineating the parking space for which that meter shall
be used. Every vehicle parked adjacent to any parking meter shall
be parked wholly within the lines or markings so placed and applicable
to that meter. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article
for any person:
It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle in any
metered parking lot:
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any metered parking lot
at any time when the lot is open for use and the meters are to be
in operation, the driver of the vehicle, upon entering the parking
space, shall immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in the proper
parking meter one or more proper coins of the United States of America
as specified in the legend on the parking meter. Upon the deposit
of the coin or coins and placing the meter in operation, the parking
space may be lawfully occupied by the vehicle for the time indicated
on the meter. If any vehicle remains in any such parking space for
such length of time that the meter indicates that the lawful parking
time has expired, that vehicle shall be considered as being parked
overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation
of this article, provided that every hour that a vehicle remains parked
at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate violation
of this article.
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit in any parking
meter installed under the provisions of this article any slug or other
substitute for a coin of the United States of America.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article for any
person to permit a vehicle to remain in a parking space adjacent to
a parking meter installed under this article when that meter displays
a signal indicating that the vehicle has already been parked there
beyond the period of time prescribed for that parking space or the
time for which a coin or coins was deposited in that meter for the
parking of that vehicle.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article for any
person to deface, tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy or
impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the provisions
of this article, provided that nothing in this section shall apply
to the servicing or opening of parking meters by officers, employees
or police officers of the Borough under the direction of the Borough
Manager or Borough Council.
The metered parking lots established by this article shall be
for the use of passenger cars, passenger vans and pickup trucks only,
and it shall be unlawful for any person to park any other type of
vehicle in any of those lots.
A.
It shall be the duty of the police officers and parking enforcement
personnel of the Borough, acting in accordance with the direction
of the Chief of Police, to report:
(1)
The number of each parking meter that indicates that a vehicle occupying
the adjacent parking space is or has been parked in violation of any
provision of this article.
(2)
The date and hour of the violation.
(3)
The license number of the vehicle.
(4)
Any other facts, the knowledge of which is necessary for a thorough
understanding of the circumstances attending the violation.
B.
The police officer or other person making the report shall also place on or attach to the vehicle a notice to the owner or driver of the vehicle that the vehicle was parked in violation of this article and instructing the owner or driver that if he will report to the office of the Chief of Police and pay, for the use of the Borough, the sum of $3 within 48 hours after the time of the notice or will place the sum of $5, enclosed within the envelope provided, in any of the special parking fine boxes installed at various locations within the Borough within that time limit, that act will save the violator from prosecution and from payment of the fine prescribed in § 290-69A of this article.
