(A) Whenever, during hours of limited parking, any vehicle shall be parked in any designated space at which there is located a parking meter, the owner, operator, manager, or driver of the vehicle shall, upon entering the vehicle in the parking space, immediately deposit a coin of the United States of America in the parking meter; however, the owner, operator, manager, or driver may use the unexpired time remaining on the meter from its previous use without depositing a coin therein.
(B) When a vehicle is too large to be confined in a single space, only the meter nearest the hood or front end of the vehicle need be operated. Thereupon the parking space may be used by the vehicle during the parking period provided for the part of the street in which the parking space is located.
(C) If a vehicle shall remain parked in any parking space beyond the parking limit fixed for the parking space, and the parking meter shall display a signal indicating illegal parking, then and in that event, the vehicle shall be considered as parked overtime.
