[Ord. 9711-6, 11/12/1997, § 205-41]
Parking meter zones are established along certain streets in the Borough of Red Lion as designated and described in Schedule XX (§ 15-923), except for those spaces and locations within those parking meter zones where parking, now or in the future, as the case may be, is prohibited.
[Ord. 9711-6, 11/12/1997, § 205-42]
It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle or to allow it to be parked on any part of a street established as a parking meter zone at any time between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday; 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Friday; or 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Saturday, for longer than two hours total. The requirements of this Part as to the parking time limit and as to the deposit of coins in parking meters shall not apply on legal holidays recognized by the Borough.
[Ord. 9711-6, 11/12/1997, § 205-43]
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones shall be placed upon the curb, sidewalks, or area immediately adjacent to the parking spaces provided in this Part. Each parking meter shall be so 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 for that space, 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. 9711-6, 11/12/1997, § 205-44]
When any vehicle shall be parked in any parking space alongside or next to which a parking meter is located, at any time in the period of limited parking as prescribed by this Part, the driver of such vehicle shall, upon entering the said parking meter space, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in said meter such proper coin of the United States of America as is required 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 the deposit of the proper coin, shall also set in operation the timing mechanism on such meter in accordance with directions properly appearing thereon, and failure to deposit such proper coin and to set the timing mechanism in operation when so required shall constitute a violation of this Part. Upon the deposit of such coin (and the setting of the timing mechanism in operation 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, provided that any person placing a vehicle in a parking meter space adjacent to a meter which indicates that unused time has been left in the meter by the previous occupant of the space shall not be required to deposit a coin so long as his occupancy of said space does not exceed the indicated unused parking time. If said vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond the parking time limit set for such parking space and if the meter shall indicate such illegal parking, then and in that 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 Part.
[Ord. 9711-6, 11/12/1997, § 205-45]
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the curb, sidewalk, or roadway adjacent to each 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 Part for any person to park a vehicle across any such line or marking or to park a vehicle in such a position that the vehicle is not wholly within the area designated by those lines or markings.
[Ord. 9711-6, 11/12/1997, § 205-46]
