At each space so marked off, 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. In any parking meter zone where vehicles are now required to be parked parallel to the curbline, parking spaces shall be designated adjacent to the curblines, each of which spaces shall be approximately 22 feet in length. In any parking meter zone where vehicles are now or may hereafter be required to park at right angles to the curbline, parking spaces shall be designated adjacent to the curbline, each of which spaces shall be approximately eight feet in width.

Each device shall be so set as to display a signal showing legal parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin(s), lawful money of the United States of America or by use of an online digital parking payment service application as approved by Hanover Borough Council for the period of time prescribed by this chapter. Each device shall be so arranged that, upon the expiration of the lawful time limit, 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, possessor or manager thereof shall be subject to the penalties prescribed by law.

Except in a period of emergency determined by an officer of
the Fire or Police Department, 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 vehicles, shall, upon
entering the said parking meter space, immediately deposit or cause
to be deposited in said meter the appropriate coin(s), lawful money
of the United States of America or by use of online digital parking
payment service application as approved by Hanover Borough Council
for such parking meter and as is designated by proper directions on
the meter, and when required by the directions on the meter, the operator
of such vehicle, after making proper payment shall also set in operation
the timing mechanism on such meter in accordance with directions properly
appearing thereon, and failure to make payment shall constitute a
violation of this chapter. Upon making proper payment (and the setting
of the timing mechanism when so required), the parking space may be
lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period of time which
has been prescribed for the part of the street in which said parking
space is located. If said vehicle shall remain parking in any such
parking space beyond the parking time set for such parking space,
or if the meter shall indicate such illegal parking, then in either
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.

as herein described or to deposit in any parking meter a coin for
the purpose of parking beyond the maximum legal parking time for the
particular parking meter zone.
(2)
To permit any vehicle to remain or be placed in any parking space
adjacent to any parking meter while said meter is displaying a signal
indicating that the vehicle occupying such parking space has already
been parked beyond the period prescribed for such parking space.
(3)
To park any vehicle across any line or marking of a parking space
or in such position that the vehicle shall not be entirely within
the area designated by such lines or markings.

To deface, injure, tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy
or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed under the
provisions of this chapter.
(5)

in a parking meter zone, and which requires a vehicle for such work,
may obtain from the Police Department a cover or marker, in such form,
at such time and for the use of such length of time as the Police
Department may determine, which cover or marker, when placed upon
or over any parking meter will allow the vehicle of such person to
occupy the parking space at such parking meter without payment at
the parking meter, provided that such person pay to the Borough of
Hanover a sum of money equal to the fee as set by Hanover Borough
Council by resolution from time to time for each hour or fraction
