Each device shall be so set as to display a signal showing legal parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin, for the period of time hereinafter prescribed.

When a parking space in any parking meter zone is parallel with the adjacent curb or sidewalk, any vehicle parked in such parking space shall be parked so that the foremost part of such vehicle shall be nearest to the parking meter; provided, however, that where double parking meters are installed upon one standard so as to serve two parking spaces, any vehicle parked in the space just beyond the parking meters shall be parked so that the rear bumper of such vehicle shall be nearest to the parking meters.

Upon the deposit of such coin, or coins and placing said meter in operation, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period of parking time which has been prescribed for the zone in which said parking space is located, and for which a coin or coins is or are deposited, as indicated on the parking meter. If said vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond the parking time limit so fixed for such parking space, the parking meter shall, by its violation signal, dial or pointer, indicate such illegal parking, and, in that event, such vehicle shall be considered as parked overtime and beyond the period of legal parking time.
