The Police Department is hereby authorized to provide for the
marking off of individual parking spaces in the parking zones and
areas designated and described in § 238-40, said parking
spaces to be designated by lines painted or marked on the curbing
or surface of the highway or area. At each space so marked off, it
shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in such a way that said vehicle
shall not be entirely within the limits of the space so designated.
When any vehicle shall be parked in any space adjacent to which
a parking meter is located in accordance with the provisions of this
article, the operator shall, upon entering said parking space, immediately
deposit or cause to be deposited such coin or coins of the United
States as are required for such parking meter and as are designated
by proper instructions on the parking meter, and failure to deposit
such coin or coins shall constitute a breach of this article and shall
subject each person to the penalty prescribed hereafter. 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. The parking of a vehicle
overtime or beyond the period of legal parking time in any such space
where any such parking meter is located shall be a violation of this
article and punishable as hereinafter set forth.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of the provisions of this
article for any person:

as herein described, or to deposit in any parking meter any coin for
the purpose of parking beyond the maximum legal parking time for the
particular parking meter zone.

adjacent to any parking meter while said meter is displaying a signal
indicating that the vehicle occupying such parking space has already
been parked beyond the period prescribed for such parking space.

space or in such position that the vehicle shall not be entirely within
the area designated by such lines or markings.
