§ 312-54. Fees; operation of meters; time limitations.  


Latest version.
  • A. 
    Where parking meters are installed on the streets and highways of the City, parking is permitted for two hours where meters are installed, for a fee as set forth in Chapter 133, Fees.
    B. 
    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.
    C. 
    The parking of any motor vehicle at a parking meter for more than the parking limit indicated on the meter or an official sign is prohibited. The parking of any motor vehicle for more than the parking limit, regardless of whether or not the parking meter at which such vehicle may be parked displays an overtime signal, shall be prima facie evidence that such vehicle is parked in violation.
