It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle in any metered
parking lot:
[Ord. 2016-1, 1/4/2016]
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 Part. Provided, every hour that a vehicle remains
parked at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate
violation of this Part.

It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit in any parking
meter installed under the provisions of this Part any slug or other
substitute for a coin of the United States of America.

It shall be unlawful and a violation of this Part for any person
to permit a vehicle to remain in a parking space adjacent to a parking

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. 2016-1, 1/4/2016]
It shall be unlawful and a violation of this Part 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 Part. Provided, nothing in this section shall apply to the
servicing or opening of parking meters by officers, employees or police
officers of the Township under the direction of the Township Roadmaster.
