In areas designated as parking meter zones, the parking authority or the appropriate department of the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach as designated by the Mayor and Council shall outline with clearly visible markings individual parking meter spaces, adjoining each of which shall be erected a parking meter which, upon deposit of the required fee, will indicate the duration of the legal parking period and will also indicate when that parking period has expired. The maximum legal parking time and the hours and days during which payment of a fee is required in order to park shall be indicated either by appropriate signs installed in the parking lot or by a legend on the parking meter itself. No meters shall be installed in areas where parking is prohibited under N.J.S.A. 39:4-138.
In areas where multi-space parking meter terminals are in use, there shall be a centrally located terminal which will indicate the maximum legal parking time and the hours and days during which payment of a fee is required.
[Ord. #2005-17, § 2]
In areas designated as pay station parking zones, the parking authority or the appropriate department of the Borough of Point Pleasant Beach as designated by the Mayor and Council shall outline with clearly visible markings individual parking spaces, which shall each have a pay station located nearby for the payment of parking fees and the dispensing of tickets that indicate the duration of the purchased legal parking period and the expiration of that period. The hours and days during which payment of a fee is required in order to park and the cost of parking shall be indicated by appropriate signs installed in the parking lot or along the appropriate roadway.
[Ord. #2005-17, § 3]

[Ord. #2005-17, § 3; Ord. #2013-20, § 5]
No person shall cause a vehicle to be parked or remain in a parking space when the meter or pay ticket indicates that the time for parking has expired, except as provided in § 9-14 (Residential Parking Program).
No person shall park a vehicle in any parking space with a coin-operated meter during the time that payment of a fee is required without depositing one or more coins representing the required fee in the meter adjoining the space and turning the lever to cause the parking meter to operate, except as provided in § 9-14 (Residential Parking Program). Fees may be paid in coins of any denomination that the meter will accept, but no person shall deposit into a parking meter anything other than lawful coins of the United States of America. No person shall deposit additional coins in a parking meter for the purpose of extending the time of a vehicle beyond the maximum legal parking time.
No person shall park a vehicle in any parking space that is located in a designated pay machine lot or space without purchasing a pay ticket from a pay machine, except as provided in § 9-14 (Residential Parking Program). A pay ticket shall be purchased for a minimum of one-hour parking and for a maximum of 24 hours.
