(A) In all parking meter zones or areas, the Safety Director may cause parking meters to be removed or installed, or, if already installed, to be maintained, upon the curb or sidewalk immediately adjacent to the parking space, in such manner as to be either at the side of or at the front of the parked vehicle when the vehicle is located in the parking space. Parking meters may be set two on a single parking meter post located between parking spaces or in close proximity thereto so that it shall be possible to determine which meter regulates each parking space. The Safety Director and the parking meter attendant shall be responsible for the regulation, control, operation, maintenance, and use of the parking meters. Each device shall be set as to display a signal showing legal parking upon the deposit of the appropriate coin or coins, lawful money of the United States, or approved tokens for the period of time prescribed by this chapter.
(B) Each device 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. In such cases the right of the vehicle to occupy the space shall cease and the operator, owner, possessor, or manager thereof shall be subject to the penalties hereinafter provided.
