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 § 15-138, 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.
1.
In said parking meter zones, parking meters shall be installed upon the curb, sidewalk or pavement immediately adjacent to the parking spaces provided in § 15-138 of this article. The Police Department shall be responsible for the regulation, control, operation, maintenance and use of such parking meters.
2.
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. Each device shall be so arranged that
upon the expiration of the lawful time limit it will indicate by a
proper, visible signal that the lawful parking period has expired,
and in such case the right of such vehicle to occupy such space shall
cease and the operator, owner, possessor or manager thereof shall
be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
1.
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. When a parking space in any parking
meter zone is diagonal to the curb or sidewalk, any vehicle parked
in such parking space shall be parked with the foremost part of such
vehicle nearest to such meter.
2.
Where lines or markings are painted or placed upon the curb, sidewalk,
highway and/or paved surface adjacent to each parking meter providing
for parking at an angle and not parallel or perpendicular to the curb,
it shall be unlawful for the operator of any motor vehicle to cross
the center line of the highway to enter or leave said parking area.
When any vehicle shall be parked in any space adjacent to which
a parking meter, device, or a parking zone exists and is located in
accordance with the provisions of this article, the operator shall,
upon entering the said parking space, immediately either pay electronically
or deposit or cause to be deposited such coin or coins of the United
States as required for such parking meter and as designated by proper
instructions on the parking meter or signage, and failure to pay electronically
or deposit such coin or coins shall constitute a breach of this article
and shall subject each person to the penalty prescribed hereafter.
Upon payment, 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. If said vehicle shall
remain parked in any such parking space beyond the parking time limit
so fixed for such parking space, 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 or zone is located
shall be a violation of this article and punishable as hereinafter
set forth in the fee schedule.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of the provisions of this
article for any person to:
1.
Cause, allow, permit or suffer any vehicle registered in the name
of or operated by such person to be parked overtime or beyond the
period of legal parking time established for any parking meter zone
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.
2.
Permit any vehicle to remain or be placed in any parking space 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.
3.
Park any vehicle across any line or marking of a parking meter space
or in such position that the vehicle shall not be entirely within
the area designated by such lines or markings.
4.
Deface, injure, tamper with, open or willfully break, destroy or
impair the usefulness of any parking meter or device installed under
the provisions of this article.
5.
Deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking meter any slug, device
or metal substance or other substitute for lawful coins.
6.
Park or permit the parking of any vehicle in any parking meter space
where the meter does not register lawful parking.
It shall be the duty of the police officers of the Borough of
Homestead and such other persons as may be designated and authorized
by the Chief of Police, acting in accordance with instructions issued
by the Chief of Police, to report:
1.
The number of each parking meter which indicates that the vehicle
occupying the parking space and adjacent to such parking meter is
or has been parked in violation of any of the provisions of this article.
2.
The state license number of such vehicle.
3.
The length of time during which such vehicle is parked in violation
of any of the provisions of this article at the time of his inspection.
4.
Any other facts, a knowledge of which is necessary to a thorough
understanding of the circumstances attending such violation.
5.
Both Borough of Homestead police officers and Borough of Homestead
meter enforcement personnel are hereby authorized to enforce this
article and are granted the authority to issue citations to violators.
It shall be the duty of the Borough Manager to designate some
proper person or persons to make regular collections of the moneys
deposited in said meters.
