It shall be unlawful for any person to park a vehicle or to
allow the same to be parked for longer than: 15 minutes in a fifteen-minute
parking meter zone; two hours in a two-hour parking meter zone and
10 hours in a ten-hour parking meter zone at any time between the
hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m., Monday through Friday; provided
that the requirements of this article as to parking time limit and
as to deposit of coins in parking meters shall not apply on Saturdays,
Sundays and legal holidays, except as stated in this section.
Parking meters installed in the parking meter zones established as provided in §
213-27 of this article shall be placed upon the sidewalk, and immediately adjacent to the individual parking spaces 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 Borough and, when occupied, shall indicate illegal or overtime parking.
Lines and/or markings shall be painted or placed upon the curb,
sidewalk and/or highway adjacent to each parking meter for the purpose
of designating the parking space for which such meter is to be used.
Each vehicle parked adjacent to any parking meter shall be parked
wholly within the lines or markings so placed and applicable to such
meter. It shall be unlawful and a violation of this article to park
any vehicle across any such line or marking, or to park any vehicle
in such a position that such vehicle shall not be wholly within the
area so designated by such lines or markings and the vehicle tires
shall be parked on the street side of the curb and may not be parked
on the street side of the curb and may not park on the curb or beyond
the curbline. When parallel parking, vehicles shall be drawn up to
the right-hand curb and stopped not more than six inches from the
curb and parallel thereto.
When a parking space in any parking meter zone is parallel with
the adjacent curb or sidewalk, any vehicle parked in such parking
space shall be parked so that the foremost part of such vehicle shall
be nearest to the parking meter; when a parking space in any parking
meter zone is diagonal to the curb or sidewalk, any vehicle parked
in such parking space shall be parked with the foremost part of such
vehicle nearest to such meter.
Whenever any vehicle is to be parked in any space adjacent to which a parking meter shall have been placed, at any time during the period of limited parking as herein prescribed, the operator of such vehicle shall, upon entering such parking space, immediately deposit or cause to be deposited in such parking meter one or more proper coins of the United States as shall be specified in the legend upon such parking meter, and as set from time to time by resolution of the Borough Council, Upon the deposit of such coin or coins, and placing the meter in operation, such parking space may be lawfully occupied by such vehicle for the amount of time designated by resolution of the Borough Council for that coin or coins. 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 Article
III of this chapter.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of Article
III of this chapter for any person to permit a vehicle to remain in any parking space adjacent to a parking meter, when such meter shall display a signal indicating that such vehicle shall already have been parked beyond the period of time prescribed for such parking space.
It shall be unlawful and a violation of Article
III of this chapter 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 that nothing herein shall apply to the servicing or opening of parking meters by officers, employees and/or peace officers of the Borough under the direction of the Mayor and/or the Borough Council.
It shall be the duty of the peace officers of the Borough or
the Borough authorized attendant, acting in accordance with instructions
of the Chief of Police, to report:
A. The number of each parking meter that indicates that the vehicle occupying the parking space adjacent thereto is or has been parked in violation of any of the provisions of Article
IV of this chapter.
B. The date and hour of such violation.
C. The state license number of such vehicle.
D. Any other facts, the knowledge of which shall be necessary for a
thorough understanding of the circumstances attending such violation.
E. Every such peace officer or the Borough-authorized attendant shall also place upon such vehicle a notice to the owner or operator thereof that such vehicle was parked in violation of the provisions of Article
IV of this chapter, and instructing such owner or operator that he shall report to the office of the Chief of Police and pay, for the use of the Borough, the sum of $5. All fines shall be paid within 96 hours after the time of such notice either in person at the office of the Chief of Police; or if he shall place the correct sum, enclosed within the envelope provided, in any of the special parking fine boxes installed at various locations within the Borough within such time limit, the same shall save such violator from prosecution and from payment of the fine and costs hereinafter provided in Article
IV of this chapter. After said ninety-six-hour period, the fine shall be increased to $15, and after 30 calendar days from the time of such notice the fine shall be increased to $25 plus the costs of prosecution and penalties.
Any person violating any of the provisions of this article shall,
for each and every such violation, upon conviction thereof, be sentenced
to pay the appropriate fine of penalty set forth above and the costs
of prosecution.
