The Board of Trustees is hereby authorized and
directed to immediately establish zones, to be known as "parking meter
zones," in the following parking fields, streets and avenues: Madison
Street Parking Field, Belmont Avenue Parking Field, Schenck Avenue
Parking Field, Butler Street Parking Field, Winthrop Street Parking
Field and part of Scally Place Parking Field, and all streets fronting
on property zoned for business use and/or industrial use throughout
the Incorporated Village of Westbury, and from time to time thereafter
as traffic conditions require in such other streets, avenues and parking
fields as are selected by resolution of the Village of Westbury for
the location of such zones.
The Board of Trustees is hereby directed and authorized to mark off individual parking spaces in the parking zones designated and described in § 237-45 and in such other zones as shall hereafter be established; and parking spaces shall be designated by lines painted or durably marked on the curbing or the surface of the street. 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.
A.
The Board of Trustees is hereby authorized and directed
to cause parking meters to be installed either upon the curb or sidewalk
immediately adjacent to the parking spaces set off in the parking
meter zones or within said designated space.
B.
Each parking meter shall be so set as to display the
signal showing legal parking by the deposit of an appropriate coin
or coins for the period of time as set forth on such meter. Each parking
meter shall be so arranged that at 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 cases the right of an operator
of a vehicle to occupy such space shall cease and the operator thereof
shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
The Board of Trustees is hereby authorized and
directed to provide for operation, maintenance, supervision, regulation
and use of the parking meters provided for in this chapter and to
maintain said meters in good workable condition.
Except in case of emergency determined by an
officer of the Police Department, or in compliance with the direction
of a police officer, when any vehicle shall be parked in any parking
space along side of or next to which a parking meter is located, the
operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering the said parking meter
space, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in said meter
such proper coin of the United States as is required by such parking
meter and as is designated on such meter, and the failure to deposit
such proper coin and to set the timing mechanism in operation shall
constitute a violation of this chapter. Upon the deposit of such coin
and the setting of the timing mechanism in operation, the parking
space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle for the period of time
which has been prescribed for that part of the street in which such
parking space is located, provided that any person placing a vehicle
in a parking meter space adjacent to a meter which indicates that
unused time has been left in the meter by the previous occupant of
such space shall not be required to deposit a coin so long as his
occupancy does not exceed the indicated unused parking time. If said
vehicle shall remain parked in any such parking space beyond the parking
time limit set for such parking space, and if the meter shall indicate
such illegal parking, then, and in that event, such vehicle shall
be considered as parking overtime and beyond the period of legal parking
time and such parking shall be deemed a violation of this article.
It is hereby reserved to the Board of Trustees,
by resolution at a regular public meeting, to set forth the various
time limits and fees for lawful parking and standing of motor vehicles
in designated spaces at parking meters.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of the provisions of this article and any regulations adopted under the authority granted by § 237-50 for any person:
A.
To 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.
B.
To permit any vehicle to remain in any parking space
adjacent to any parking meter beyond tge time limit for such parking
space and 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.
C.
To park any vehicle across any line or marking of
a parking meter space or in such a position that the vehicle shall
not be entirely within the area designated by such lines or markings.
D.
To deface, injure, tamper with, open or willfully
break, destroy or impair the usefulness of any parking meter installed
under the provisions of this article.
E.
To deposit or cause to be deposited in any parking
meter any slug, device or metal substance or any object other than
a lawful coin.
Such portions of the Madison Street Parking
Field, Belmont Avenue Parking Field and Scally Place Parking Field
as shall be designated by signs may be utilized for the unmetered
parking of motor vehicles for a period of time as set by the Board
of Trustees by resolution.
The specified coin, coins or tokens required
to be deposited in parking meters as provided herein are hereby levied
and assessed as fees to provide for the proper regulation and control
of traffic upon the public streets, and also the cost of supervising
and regulating the parking of vehicles in the parking meter zones
created hereby, and cover the cost of purchasing, acquiring, installation,
operation, maintenance, supervision, regulation and control of the
parking meters described herein.
