B. When such parking space markings are placed in the highway, subject to other and more restrictive limitations, no vehicle shall be stopped or left standing other than within a single space unless the size or shape of such vehicle makes compliance impossible. [Ord. 7-2009 §3, eff. 5-1-2009; Ord. 2000-14A §1, eff. 10-25-2000; Ord. 2000-1 §1, eff. 7-1-2000]
The Director is authorized to install and maintain between the sidewalk and the street immediately adjacent to each street parking space and at a convenient location with respect to each parking lot parking space, a parking meter for the purpose of regulating the parking within each parking space so marked. [Ord. 7-2009 §3, eff. 5-1-2009; Ord. 2000-14A §1, eff. 10-25-2000; Ord. 2000-1 §1, eff. 7-1-2000]
The maximum parking time limits within designated portions of the parking meter zones shall be as provided by this title and shown by proper signs erected and maintained. [Ord. 7-2009 §3, eff. 5-1-2009; Ord. 2000-14A §1, eff. 10-25-2000; Ord. 2000-1 §1, eff. 7-1-2000]
Each parking meter shall be so set as to display a signal showing legal parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin or coins, lawful money of the United States, for the period of time prescribed by this chapter.
Each parking meter shall be so arranged that upon 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 such vehicle to occupy such space shall cease. [Ord. 7-2009 §3, eff. 5-1-2009; Ord. 2000-14A §1, eff. 10-25-2000; Ord. 2000-1 §1, eff. 7-1-2000]
