A. 
Except as otherwise provided for in Subsection B, parking meters installed in the parking meter zones as provided in §§ 285-20 and 285-21 hereof shall be placed upon the sidewalk and in the municipal parking lots immediately adjacent to the individual parking places hereinafter described. 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 parking time established by the Township and, when operated, shall indicate on and by its display the duration period of legal parking and, on the expiration of such period, shall indicate illegal or over parking.
B. 
The multispace parking pay stations installed within the Municipal Parking Lots at 124 South Easton Road, 107 Bickley Road, 562 East Church Road and 7851 Montgomery Avenue, as provided in §§ 285-20 and 285-21, shall be placed within the lot and control all parking spaces within the applicable lot.

The multispace parking pay station will issue a receipt stating the date, time and legal parking period for the numbered parking space selected. The expiration of the legal parking period shall indicate illegal or over parking. The multispace parking pay station shall be regarded as a meter in all aspects set forth in §§ 285-24 through 285-32 regarding depositing of coins, parking beyond time specified, depositing of slugs or other substitutes, defacing and tampering, duty of police officers, disposition of fees, violations and penalties, purchase of meters and construal of provisions.

Each vehicle parked adjacent or next to any parking meter shall be parked within the lines or markings so placed. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this chapter to park any vehicle across such line or marking or to park such vehicle in such position that the same shall not be entirely within the area so designated by such lines or markings.

C. 
Pavement markings in municipal (and library) lots designate the parking spaces that are authorized for use. It shall be unlawful to park any vehicle across such line or marking or to park such vehicle in such position that the same shall not be entirely within the area designated by such lines and markings.

Upon the deposit of such twenty-five-cent coins, or increments of twenty-five-cent coins, and placing the meter in operation, the parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle during the period of parking time which has been prescribed for the particular amount deposited.
B. 
The parking meters, when installed and properly operated, shall be programmed as follows:
(1) 
In a two-hour zone so that twenty-five-cent coins may be deposited at any time throughout the range of the meters heretofore established, and for every two twenty-five-cent coins permitting the vehicle to be parked for a period of one hour; for every additional two twenty-five-cent coins permitting the vehicle to be parked for one additional hour, for a maximum of two hours.
(2) 
In a twelve-hour zone so that twenty-five-cent coins, one-dollar bills or coins or a credit card, where applicable, may be deposited at any time throughout the range of the meters heretofore established, and for every 50 cents of value deposited permitting the vehicle to be parked for a period of three hours; for every additional 50 cents of value deposited permitting the vehicle to be parked for an additional three hours, or so that one-dollar bills or coins may be deposited at any time throughout the range of the meters heretofore established, and for every one-dollar bill or coin permitting the vehicle to be parked for a period of six hours; for each additional one-dollar bill or coin permitting the vehicle to be parked for an additional six hours, to a maximum of 12 hours.
[Amended 4-19-1994 by Ord. No. 1804-94]
