The following are hereby established as the metered parking
lots operated by the Borough of East Pittsburgh:
|
Lot No. 1: Electric Avenue and Dynamo Way
|
|
Lot No. 2: Braddock Avenue and Cable Avenue
|
|
Lot No. 3: Braddock Avenue
|
B.
The parking meters in the said lots shall be in operation, and the provisions of this Article IV regulating such operation and time limits shall be in force 24 hours of each and every day in the year except Sundays and holidays.
C.
Monthly parking permits may be obtained from the Chief of Police
for parking in the parking lots by Westinghouse personnel or for other
special-purpose parking.
Parking meters installed in the said lots shall be placed immediately adjacent to the individual parking space that shall be marked off in the said lots. Each parking meter shall be placed or set in such manner as to show that the parking space adjacent to such meter is or is not legally occupied. Each parking meter installed shall indicate by a proper legend the legal time established by this Article IV and, when occupied, shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of the period of legal parking and, on expiration of such period, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking.
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the various metered parking lots hereby established, adjacent to each parking meter, for the purpose of designating the space for which such meter shall be used. Each vehicle parked adjacent to any parking meter shall be parked within the lines or markings so placed and applicable to such meter. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this Article IV for any person:
A.
To park any vehicle across any such line or marking; or
B.
To park any vehicle in such a position that such vehicle shall not
be within the area so designated by such lines or markings; or
C.
To park a vehicle elsewhere in any such lot than in an individual
parking space adjacent to a parking meter.
It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle in any of the said
parking lots otherwise than with the foremost part of the parked vehicle
nearest to the parking meter applicable thereto.
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any of the said parking lots, at any time during which the parking meters therein shall be in operation, except for any person who has obtained a monthly permit from the Police Chief, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering a parking space adjacent to a parking meter, immediately deposit, or cause to be deposited, in such parking meter one or more coins of the United States as shall be specified in the legend upon such parking meter. Upon deposit of such coin or coins, and placing the meter in operation, such parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle for the length of time designated by § 363-25 of this Article IV. If any vehicle shall remain in any such parking space for such length of time that the meter shall indicate by a proper signal that the lawful parking time shall have expired, such vehicle shall be considered as having been parked overtime, and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this Article IV, provided every hour that a vehicle shall remain parked at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate violation of this Article IV.
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this Article IV, 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 Article IV, provided nothing herein shall apply to the servicing or opening of parking meters by authorized persons.
The metered parking lots hereby established are hereby declared to be for the use of private passenger vehicles only, and it shall be unlawful, and a violation of this Article IV, for any person to park in any such lot any bus, truck, tractor, trailer, tractor-trailer or commercial vehicle or any kind or nature.
