(a) It shall be unlawful for any person to permit a vehicle to be parked, to remain or to be placed in any parking space alongside of or next to any parking meter during the restricted and regulated time applicable for the established parking meter rate in which such meter is located while the parking meter for such space indicates by signal that the lawful parking time in such space has expired or has been restricted. This provision shall not apply to the act of parking or the necessary time that is required to deposit immediately thereafter a coin or coins in such meter.
(b) When any person permits a vehicle to be parked, to remain or be placed in any parking space where the parking meter has expired as provided in subsection (a) of this section and the vehicle remains so parked for consecutive periods of time, each of which periods exceeds the maximum parking time applicable for the established parking meter rate where the meter is located, each such period of parking shall constitute a separate offense and a separate citation may be issued for each such offense.
