When any vehicle shall be parked in any space alongside
of or next to which a parking meter is located, the operator or driver
of said vehicle shall, upon entering said parking space, immediately
deposit in the parking meter alongside of or next to said parking
space the required fee in coin of the United States as the case may
be for parking and shall operate the handle necessary to start operation
of the said meter, if such meter is manually operated; and said parking
space may then be used by such vehicle during the parking limit provided
for the part of the highway in which said parking space is located.
If any vehicle shall remain parked at any such parking space beyond
the time allowed by regulation posted on the meter or on official
signs, such vehicle shall be considered as parked overtime, and the
parking of a vehicle overtime or beyond the period of time permitted
in any such part of a highway where a meter is located shall be deemed
a violation of this article.
