p.m., and legal holidays, on which days the parking lots shall be
open for public parking, free of charge, for unlimited periods of
time.
Parking meters installed in the parking lots shall be placed immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces that shall be marked off and maintained in the lots. For each parking meter, there shall be a clear indication, through use of a directional arrow, or an identification as to number with the parking space, to show which individual parking space it serves. Each parking meter shall indicate by a proper legend the parking rate and the maximum parking time established by § 248-41 of this article, and, when the parking space is occupied and the parking meter put into operation by the insertion of one or more coins, the parking meter shall indicate on and by its dial and pointer the duration of legal parking and, upon the expiration of that period, shall indicate illegal parking or overparking.
The Borough Council, at its discretion, may provide, at convenient
and suitable locations in any one or more of the metered parking lots,
reserved parking spaces for handicapped and shall designate those
spaces by appropriate signs. It shall be unlawful, and a violation
of this article, for any person to park in any such reserved parking
space any vehicle unless that vehicle bears or displays either a handicapped
registration plate, a handicapped parking placard, a disabled veteran
registration plate, or a disabled veteran placard.
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the surface
of the metered parking lots, adjacent to each parking meter, for the
purpose of delineating the parking space for which that meter shall
be used. Every vehicle parked adjacent to 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 article
for any person:
It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle in any
metered parking lot:
Whenever a vehicle is to be parked in any metered parking lot
at any time when the lot is open for use and the meters are to be
in operation, the driver of the vehicle, upon entering the parking
space, shall immediately deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the
proper parking meter one or more proper coins of the United States
of America as specified in the legend on the parking meter. 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 remains in any such parking
space for such length of time that the meter indicates that the lawful
parking time has expired, that vehicle shall be considered as being
parked overtime and the parking of a vehicle overtime shall be a violation
of this article, provided every hour that a vehicle remains parked
at a meter showing a violation shall constitute a separate violation
of this article.
It shall be unlawful for any person to deposit in any parking
meter installed under the provisions of this article any slug or other
substitute for a coin of the United States of America.
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this article, for any
person to permit a vehicle to remain in a parking space adjacent to
a parking meter installed under this article when that meter displays
a signal indicating that the vehicle has already been parked there
beyond the period of time prescribed for that parking space or the
time for which a coin or coins were deposited in that meter for the
parking of that vehicle.
It shall be unlawful, and a violation of this article, 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, 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 Chief of Police
or Borough Council.
The metered parking lots established by this article shall be
for the use of passenger cars, passenger vans and pickup trucks only,
and it shall be unlawful for any person to park any other type of
vehicle in any of those lots.
It shall be the duty of the police officers and parking enforcement
personnel of the Borough, acting in accordance with the direction
of the Chief of Police, to report:
A.
The number of each parking meter that indicates that a vehicle occupying
the adjacent parking space is, or has been, parked in violation of
any provision of this article.
B.
The date and hour of the violation.
C.
The license number of the vehicle.
D.
Any other facts, the knowledge of which is necessary for a thorough
understanding of the circumstances attending the violation.
A.
Any person who violates any provision of this article, with the exception of § 248-49, shall, upon conviction, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than $25, and costs, provided it shall be the duty of the police officers and of parking enforcement personnel of the Borough to report to the appropriate official all violations of any provision of this article, indicating, in each case, the provision violated; the license number of the vehicle involved in the violation; the location where the violation took place; and any other facts that might be necessary in order to secure a clear understanding of the circumstances attending the violation. The police officer or other person making the report shall also attach to or place upon every such vehicle a notice stating that the vehicle was parked in violation of this article. The notice shall contain instructions to the owner or driver of the vehicle that if they will report to the Borough of Irwin Deposit Box and pay the sum of $10 within 15 days after the time of the notice, that act will save the violator from prosecution and from payment of the fine and costs prescribed in the first sentence of this section.
