§ 1]
Parking meters shall be operated at all times between the hours
of 8:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, in the parking
meter zones.
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991]
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones established by § 15-501 of this chapter shall be placed upon the curb or sidewalk, and immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces described in § 15-504 of this chapter. Each parking meter shall be placed or set so as to show that the parking space adjacent to that meter is or is not legally occupied. Each parking meter installed shall indicate by a proper legend the legal parking time established by the Borough of East Lansdowne, and when the adjacent space is occupied by a vehicle, the parking meter shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of the period of legal parking, and, on the expiration of that period, shall indicate illegal parking or overparking.
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991]
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the curb,
sidewalk or roadway adjacent to each parking meter for the purpose
of delineating the parking space for which that meter shall be used.
Every vehicle parked at 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 chapter for any person to park
a vehicle across any such line or marking, or to park a vehicle in
such a position that such vehicle is not wholly within the area designated
by those lines or markings.
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991]
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any space adjacent to a parking meter, at any time in the period of limited parking as prescribed by § 15-502 of this chapter, the driver of the vehicle, upon entering the parking space, shall immediately deposit, or cause to be deposited, in that 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 shall remain in any such parking space for such length of time that the meter shall indicate by proper signal that the lawful parking time has expired, that vehicle shall be considered as having been parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this chapter.
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991]
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit in any parking
meter installed under the provisions of this chapter any slug or other
substitute for a coin of the United States of America.
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991]
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter for any
person to deposit or cause to be deposited, in any parking meter installed
under the provisions of this chapter, any coin for the purpose of
increasing or extending the parking time of any vehicle beyond the
legal parking time of 15 minutes in any fifteen-minute parking meter
zone, one half hour in any half hour parking meter zone, one hour
in any one-hour parking meter zone, or two hours in any two-hour parking
meter zone.
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991]
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this chapter, for any
person to permit a vehicle to remain in a parking space adjacent to
a parking meter installed under this chapter, 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.
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991]
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this chapter, 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 chapter. Provided: 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 [designated
official] or Borough Council.
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991; as amended by Ord. 437, 8/2/1993, § 1;
and by Ord. 492, 12/10/2001, § 1]
1.
It shall be the duty of the police officers and parking enforcement
personnel of the Borough, acting in accordance with the directions
of the Chief of Police, to report:
A.
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 chapter;
B.
The date and hour of the violation;
C.
The license number of the vehicle;
D.
Any other facts, the knowledge of which is necessary for a thorough
understanding of the circumstances attending the violation.
2.
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 Part, 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 $15 within 120 hours after the time of the notice, or will place the sum of $15 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 § 15-511, Subsection 1, of this Part.
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991]
[Ord. 416, 4/22/1991]
1.
By resolution, the Borough Council may temporarily suspend the provisions
of this chapter by requiring coin deposit in meters and establishing
a maximum parking time at meters.
2.
The Borough shall have authority to establish no-parking or special-purpose
parking zones within any parking meter zone, and to remove parking
meters from those areas as previously installed there, and the provisions
of this chapter shall not apply in those areas where no-parking or
special-purpose parking is in effect.
