Every parking meter shall be set to display, upon payment for a parking meter space, the period of time for which said payment has been made, and said parking meter shall continue to display, upon the entry of the parking meter space number, if applicable, the remaining paid time for said parking meter space from the time of payment until the expiration of the paid time, or until a vehicle vacates said parking meter space, whichever is sooner.
Every parking meter shall also be so arranged that upon the expiration of the parking time for which said payment has been made, and upon the entry of the parking meter space number, if applicable, it will indicate by a visible display that the lawful parking time has expired.
Every parking meter shall indicate the legal parking time which has been or may be established for that area or zone of the street upon which said parking meter is installed.
(Added by Ord. No. 170,019, Eff. 10/21/94.)
Personal parking meters shall be displayed pursuant to instruction of the Department and shall be activated by the user upon arrival in a commercial loading zone, time limit zone or no parking zone. The meter shall be programmed pursuant to Department requirements, shall display the hours and minutes parked at a location and shall charge the rates established in Section 88.00.1. Upon reaching the maximum of four hours at any one location, or upon expiration of all prepaid time, the meter shall display the word “EXPIRED.” The vehicle shall thereafter be in violation of applicable parking regulations, and may be cited for a violation of any applicable “expired meter” parking restriction.
