Alaska Administrative Code › Title 13 - Public Safety › Part 1 - Division of Alaska State Troopers › Chapter 02 - Motor Vehicle and Driving Offenses: Rules of the Road › Article 8 - Stopping, Standing, and Parking › 13 AAC 02.377 - Parking meter zones

Current through May 31, 2024
(a) The Department of Transportation and
				  Public Facilities or a municipality, in their respective jurisdictions, may
				  establish and regulate parking meter zones on the streets or vehicular areas
				  where it is determined on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation
				  that the installation of parking meters is necessary to regulate parking.
				  Parking meters may be operated during the hours specified on any day except
				  Sundays and legal holidays.
(b)
				  Parking meters may be erected in parking meter zones immediately adjacent to
				  each designated parking space. The meters must be capable of being operated,
				  either automatically or mechanically, upon the deposit of a United States coin
				  or other approved token. Each parking meter must be designed so that upon the
				  expiration of the time period registered by the deposit of the coin or token,
				  it will indicate that the parking meter period has expired, and prior to the
				  expiration will indicate the interval of time which remains. Each parking meter
				  must indicate the days and hours when the requirement to deposit coins applies,
				  the value of the coins to be deposited, and the period of time for which
				  parking is lawfully permitted in the parking meter zone in which the meter is
				  located.
(c) No person may park a
				  vehicle in a designated parking meter space during the restricted or regulated
				  time of the parking meter so that the vehicle occupies more than one designated
				  space or protrudes beyond the markings designating the space, except that a
				  vehicle which is too large to be parked within a single designated parking
				  meter zone may occupy two adjoining parking meter spaces when coins or tokens
				  are deposited in the parking meter for each space occupied.
(d) No person may park a vehicle in a parking
				  space adjacent to a parking meter during the restricted and regulated time
				  applicable to the parking meter unless coins or tokens as provided in (b) of
				  this section are deposited, or have been previously deposited. A person may not
				  permit a vehicle in his control to be parked in a parking meter space during
				  the restricted and regulated time applicable to the parking meter while the
				  parking meter for the space indicates by signal that the parking time in the
				  space has expired. A person may not park a vehicle in a parking meter space for
				  a consecutive period of time longer than that limited period of time for which
				  parking is permitted in the parking meter zone in which the meter is located,
				  irrespective of the number of amounts of coins or tokens deposited in the
				  meter.
(e) No person may deposit or
				  attempt to deposit in a parking meter a slug, button or other device as a
				  substitute for a coin or token required in (b) of this section.
(f) No person may deface, injure, tamper
				  with, open, break, destroy or impair the usefulness of a parking
				  meter.
