[Ord. 595, 10/7/1991; as amended by Ord. 649, 9/8/1998; and by Ord. 802]
Parking meters shall be operated by the deposit of a coin in the meter as prescribed by § 15-505, and the parking rates for specified lengths of time, as well as the maximum parking times prescribed in the legend established by council from time to time, shall apply at all times as established by resolution of Council in the parking meter zones listed in § 15-501; provided, however; the requirements of this Part as to parking time limit and as to deposit of coins in meters shall not apply on Borough holidays.
[Ord. 595, 10/7/1991]
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones established by § 15-501 of this Part shall be placed upon the curb or sidewalk, and immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces described in § 15-504 of this Part. Each meter shall be 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, 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 over-parking.
[Ord. 595, 10/7/1991]
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the curb,
sidewalk or roadway adjacent to each parking 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 that vehicle is not wholly within the area designated
by those lines or markings.
[Ord. 595, 10/7/1991]
1.
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any space adjacent to a parking meter, at any time in the period of limited parking as prescribed by § 15-502 of this Part the driver of the vehicle, upon entering the parking space, shall immediately deposit, or cause to be deposited, in that parking meter, one or more proper coins of the United States of America as specified in the legend on the parking meter.
2.
Upon the
deposit of the coin or coins, and placing the meter in operation,
the parking space may be lawfully occupied by the vehicle for the
time indicated on the meter. If any vehicle shall remain in any such
parking space for such length of time that the meter shall indicate
by proper signal that the lawful parking time has expired, that vehicle
shall be considered as having been parked overtime, and the parking
of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation of this Part.
[Ord. 595, 10/7/1991]
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit in any parking
meter installed under the provisions of this Part any slug or other
substitute for a coin of the United States of America.
[Ord. 649, 9/8/1998]
No person shall park a vehicle or allow it to remain parked for longer than the maximum time prescribed on the legend established by council from time to time, notwithstanding compliance with § 15-505.
[Ord. 595, 10/7/1991]
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this Part, 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 Part. Provided: nothing in this Section shall apply to the
servicing or opening of parking meters by officers, employees or police
officers of the Borough under the direction of the Mayor or Borough
Council.

provision of this Part;

number of the vehicle;
