shall authorize the installation of meters or parking for any length
of time in any location within a parking meter zone where parking
is specifically prohibited by law or by any ordinance of the Borough.
Parking in metered parking facilities shall be unlawful, except
in individual metered parking spaces. Such parking facilities are
for the use of passenger vehicles and pickup trucks only, and it shall
be unlawful for any person to park in any such facility any bus, tractor,
trailer, tractor-trailer or large truck which could not, with safety,
be parked in an individual parking space marked off.

B.
Parking meters in such lots shall be operative from 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, except on New Year's Day, Memorial
Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
A.
On-street parking. In the parking meter zones established by § 190-41 of this article, during the time when parking meters shall be operative, parking time shall be limited to two hours as indicated by the maximum time limit on the face of the meter.
B.
Parking facilities. In the metered parking facilities, parking shall
be limited to two hours as indicated by the maximum time limit on
the face of the meter.
The Municipal Manager is hereby directed to provide for the
installation, regulation, control, operation and use of the parking
meters provided for by this article and to maintain such meters in
good condition, and is hereby invested with the power and authority
to enter into one or more contracts, after approval of the terms and
conditions thereof by Council, for the purchase and installation of
parking meters, and for such protection and maintenance of parking
meters as may be necessary to maintain the same in good operating
condition. The payment of all money required from the Borough under
any and all such contracts may be made from general municipal funds.
Parking meters installed in parking meter zones and in parking facilities, as specified in §§ 190-41 and 190-42 of this article, shall be placed and located under the direction of the Manager. Where possible, meters in the parking meter zones along the highways shall be placed on the curb. In every instance, the parking meter shall be immediately adjacent to the individual parking space to which such meter pertains. Each parking meter shall be placed or set in such manner as to show or display, by a signal, that the parking space adjacent to such meter is or is not legally in use. Each parking meter installed shall indicate, by a proper legend, the legal parking time established by the municipality for such parking space and, when operated, shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of such period and, upon the expiration of such period, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking.
A.
The Municipal Manager shall cause lines and/or markings to be painted
or placed upon the curb and/or upon the street and in the parking
facilities adjacent to each parking meter for the purpose of designating
the parking space for which such meter is to be used.
B.
Each vehicle parked adjacent to any parking meter shall be parked
wholly within the lines or markings so placed and applicable to such
meter. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this section to park
any vehicle across any such line or marking, or to park any vehicle
in such a position that such vehicle shall not be wholly within the
area so designated by such lines or markings.
C.
When such individual parking space in any parking meter zone is parallel,
perpendicular or diagonal to the adjacent curb, sidewalk or other
raised structure containing the parking meter, any vehicle parked
in such individual parking space shall be parked so that the front
of such vehicle shall be nearest to the parking meter, except on streets
providing parking parallel to the curb, and where two meters are installed
on one standard so that certain meters are designed to be at the rear
of the vehicle.
D.
On approval, by motion of Council, certain parking spaces, reduced
in size, shall be provided within the metered parking facilities of
the Borough for compact vehicles (whose length from bumper to bumper
is 15 feet or less) and marked accordingly. When so designated and
marked, no person shall park any vehicle other than a compact vehicle
in such spaces.
A.
Whenever any vehicle is to be parked in any space adjacent to which
a parking meter shall have been placed at any time during the period
of limited parking, as herein prescribed, the operator of such vehicle
shall, upon entering such parking space, immediately deposit or cause
to be deposited in such parking meter, one or more proper coins of
the United States, as shall be specified in the legend upon such parking
meter. Upon the deposit of such coin or coins and placing the meter
in operation, such parking space may be lawfully occupied, as follows:
(1)
On-street parking rates: six minutes for $0.05; 12 minutes for $0.10;
and 30 minutes for $0.25. Meters supplied with appropriate slots for
coin used.
(2)
Metered parking facilities: 30 minutes for $0.25. Meters supplied
with appropriate slots for coin used.
(3)
Meter bag rental. The Borough will provide meter bags (or caps) indicating
No Parking.

Anytime to contractors working on properties adjacent to the meter(s),
to vans of moving companies engaged in moving, to media vehicles for
on-site broadcasts, to service clubs and social service agencies for
the provision of special-event public services, and to churches and
other organizations for weddings, celebrations, or funerals.
C.
Rental rates for meter bags (or caps) shall be set by the Borough
from time to time in its duly adopted fee schedule. Meter bags may
be used from 6:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m. No charge shall be made for
service clubs or social service agencies providing special-event public
services approved by Council or the Manager or for funerals.
D.
Rental of a meter bag shall not exempt the parker from complying
with overnight parking limitations or parking restrictions due to
snowfall.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article for any person to deposit or cause to be deposited, in any parking meter, any coin for the purpose of increasing or extending the parking time of any vehicle beyond the total legal parking time in the space occupied by such vehicle, as prescribed in §§ 190-41 and 190-42 herein.
A.
Initial violation. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article
for any person to permit a vehicle to remain in any parking space
adjacent to a parking meter when such meter shall display a signal
indicating that such vehicle shall already have been parked beyond
the period of time prescribed for such parking purpose. The continuation
of the violation, referred to herein, of a period of more than one
hour shall constitute a new and separate offense for each successive
one-hour period.
B.
Separate and subsequent violations. If an individual parks a vehicle in violation of Subsection A of this section, each hour of continued violation within a twenty-four-hour period shall constitute a separate and subsequent violation. The reoccurrence of a violation of Subsection A at the same metered space in the same twenty-four-hour period shall also constitute a separate and subsequent violation.
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. Nothing herein shall apply to the servicing or opening
of parking meters by parking meter enforcement officers, employees
and/or police officers of the Borough under the direction of the Municipal
Manager or Council.
A.
It shall be the duty of the parking meter enforcement officers of
the Borough, acting in accordance with instructions by the Manager,
or of other designated municipal employees, as the case may be, and
finding any vehicle parked in violation of any provision of this article
to report:
(1)
The state, provincial or other license number of such vehicle;
(2)
The location and nature of the parking violation;
(3)
The time at which such vehicle was noted to be parked in violation
of this article; and
(4)
Any
other facts, a knowledge of which is necessary to a thorough understanding
of the circumstances attending such violation.
B.
Every parking meter enforcement officer or municipal employee, as
the case may be, shall also attach to such vehicle, where possible,
a notice to the owner thereof, that such vehicle was parked in violation
of a provision of this article, and instructing such owner to report
at the payment office of the municipality in regard to such violation.
C.
Every such owner may, within 72 hours of the time when such notice
was attached to such vehicle, pay to such payment office, as a penalty
and in full satisfaction of such violation, the sum of:
(1)
Five dollars for violations of § 190-47A(1) and (2) and § 190-49A of this article, except that when such owner presents payment for fines of violations of these sections during the office hours of such payment office and such presentation of payment is within 30 minutes of the issuance of such notice of violation, the fine for violations of these sections will be discounted by 50%;
(3)
Ten dollars for violations of §§ 190-47A(3) and 190-49B of this article;
(5)
Fifteen dollars for violations of any other section of this article.
D.
The failure of such owner to make such payment to the payment office
within such seventy-two-hour period shall render such owner subject
to the penalties hereinafter provided for violation of the provisions
of this article.
E.
If such owner shall, in fact, make payment after such seventy-two-hour
period but before 30 days has elapsed from the date of such violation
or before the filing of a complaint with the Magisterial District
Judge on account of such violation, the following payments shall be
accepted in full satisfaction of violations of this article:
F.
If such owner shall make payment after 30 days from the date of such violation, but before the filing of a complaint with the Magisterial District Judge on account of such violation, the sum of $20 shall be accepted for any violation of §§ 190-46, 190-47A(1) and (3), 190-48, 190-49A and B of this article, and $35, plus the cost of repair shall be accepted for any violation of § 190-50 of this article, and $20 shall be accepted in full satisfaction of any other violations of this article.
A.
Any person who shall violate any provision of this article (except for §§ 190-46, 190-47, 190-48, 190-49, and 190-50 of this article) shall, for each and every such violation, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $20 nor more than $25 and costs of prosecution and, in default of payment of such fine and costs, to undergo imprisonment for not more than five days.
B.
Any person who shall violate any provision of § 190-46, 190-47A(1) or (2), 190-48, or 190-48 of this article shall, for each and every such violation, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced to pay a fine of not less than $15 nor more than $25 and costs of prosecution and, in default of payment of such fine and costs, to undergo imprisonment for not more than five days.
