(2) Each parking meter shall be set to display, after the operational procedure has been completed, a sign or signal indicating legal parking for that period of time conforming to the limit of parking time for the zone in which the parking meter is installed and shall continue to operate from the time of the completion of the operational procedure until the expiration of the time fixed as the parking limit, or a portion thereof, for the part of the street upon which the parking meter is placed. Each parking meter shall also be so arranged that, upon the expiration of the legal parking time, the parking meter will indicate by a mechanical operation and by proper signal that the lawful parking period has expired.
